A Boot Collector Feature
A working cowboy who builds solid, no-frills boots out of Electra, Texas — in whatever spare time ranch work leaves him.
David Westover, known as "Dew," is a working cowboy who builds custom boots out of Electra, Texas in his spare time rather than running bootmaking as a full-time trade. A Texas Monthly feature on the state's top custom bootmakers noted his solid, straightforward construction — boots built by someone who actually does the ranch work they're meant for, rather than a shop built purely around fashion.
Genuinely working-cowboy-made boots, built around durability rather than display, from a maker whose day job is the same ranch work his boots are meant to survive.
Boots built by a working cowboy, for working cowboys.
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.
