Smooth ostrich ropers is the only answer unless you actually own livestock or want to look like a clown

I've got an order in for some Megalodon boots that should be done in a few months.

Elephant if you can find it.

As close to indestructible as a leather gets.

Check this guy out, The Boot Builder.

He has nice custom built boots, they are high end but also high quality.

Ostrich is easily the best leather as far as comfort goes. I have multiple pairs of exotics and the Ostrich hands down.

ETA: I do not own Elephant, so cant comment. Also, as far as Alligator, Cayman is way more common than actual Gator boots.

I bought a pair of ostrich skins from a local bookmaker in Bozeman (though I think they are made in SW Texas). They were pretty frickin pricy, but they’re the best shoes I’ve ever had and I plan to have them the rest of my life.

I have both ostrich and elephant. Personally I prefer the elephant but can’t go wrong with either.

What a stroke of good fortune that the poor bastard who got whacked for not being able to cover had your shoe size. Congrats, baw!

Elephant if you can find them. My local mom and pop boot store just got 3 pair in. They're already broken in and feel amazing.

Justin is still making them. Bought a new pair about a year ago.
