Help me identify cowboy boots
 

I was given these cowboy boots last weekend. I was told they are Ostrich, but they sure don't look like the other Ostrich boots that I've seen on the internet.

I was told they were hand made in Thailand. There is a "Tony Leather" tag on the inside of the boot which corroborates this.

I was wondering if anyone here on CP might have an idea what these boots are made from?

Thanks ahead of time.

They don't look like the ostrich boots i've seen.

Smaller than ostrich. Chicken?

some sort of reptile skin would be my though, definitely not ostrich

Let me go ask my girlfriend, She has those boots plus 600 others

I heard she's a belt buckle expert

Guatemalan Pants snake?

Look like stingray to me.

(Quietly steals line from Bwana to later use it like it was my own)

Along with your answer and some searching I believe you are correct.

Stingray leather

Those are awesome.

My buddy has a pair and says they are much tougher than regular cowhide. They don't look brand new anymore, but they sure don't look 10 years old either. IIRC, he's had them re-soled 3-4 times and wears them to work everyday.

Yep although the Guatemalan Pants snake is very close.

I've got a guy that knows all about cowboy boots. Let me see if I can get him down here to tell me a little more about these boots.

it's made for the cast of jersey shore

For sure Sting Ray. Was looking at a pair in mexico last week.

Need a better picture. But almost looks like my old elephant boots but stained.

Looks like Camel puss hair boots

Stingray. I am wearing a pair right now. The whitish blob is an eye! Tough as hell. I have had these 15+ years and they still look brand new. In the sunlight, they glitter a bit. Kind of pimpish but I get all sorts of comments. They are pricey too. I think mine were $400 Dan Post. $400/15yrs = $26.67 per year. Not bad.

SHARK SKIN!!!!!!!!!!!

seriously.

If you look closely you can see the white eye of the stingray. If they feel like 50 grit sandpaper, also indication of stingray.

Elbow Skin?

LMAO That's the real question the needs to be answered.

He probably should have used the OP to mention that they were given to him to replace these:

Hope this helps...God bless.

I will probably try them for a while and see if I like them. I'm not sure if they will be my everyday boots or not yet. I might not even keep them.

Something I find interesting is that the WHOLE boot is made of the stingray, not just the bottom part.

Anyway, I found the web site of the maker. Seems to have pretty good quality boots from what I can tell.
