A Boot Collector Feature
Master bootmaker Sonny Dawkins built genuine cowboy boots for a loyal local clientele in the Texas Panhandle town of Dalhart.
Dalhart Custom Boots operated out of Denrock Avenue in Dalhart, a Texas Panhandle town near the New Mexico and Oklahoma borders, under master bootmaker Sonny Dawkins. A Texas Monthly feature on the state's bootmakers described the shop simply as a source of genuine cowboy boots for a local clientele — the kind of shop that doesn't need to advertise far from home to stay busy.
Straightforward, well-built working cowboy boots for the Panhandle's ranching community. At the time of the Texas Monthly feature, pairs started around $750 with a three-to-six-month turnaround.
A Texas Panhandle shop building boots the Panhandle actually wears.
Pairs from smaller, custom, or long-closed makers rarely come up for sale, so this search may not find anything. It’s worth checking back now and then.
