Custom Shoes

Peewee Boot

Copied from a 1930's dude ranch add. This is probably an Olsen-Stelzer design. The boot is 7 inches tall and is custom made to fit you, in womens or mens sizes. In the 1930's and 40's the dude ranch vacation was one of the most popular summer trips. No trip was complete with out a stop for a pair of cowboy boots. It was the golden age of cowboy boot making heavy on colorful inlays and stitching. Vintage boots of this era command top dollar on the vintage clothing circut. We make these to fit in our own shop. We can provide a choice of leather colors in calf and cow. Exotic leather pricing on request. Our vintage line is just begining, look for more " old school " designs. Please allow up to 12 weeks to create these one of a kind boots.

U.S.1903 high quarter marching shoes  

QMD specification number 599 dated 1903. As the 1898 calf skin shoe proved too light in the field this is one of a number of improvements the army sought. The QMD also thought to replace leggings with this type boot. This boot was about 40 years ahead of its time. With a small production run this boot still shows up in 1906 QMD prints but is gone by the 1916 QMD list.

These were first issued in 1898 in light weight black calf as the dress shoe. In 1904 they were listed as two items, the russet marching shoe and the dress shoe. In 1912 they were modified for the Munson last and given a heavier weight vamp. The black dress shoe was gone by then. They were supposed to be replaced in 1919 by the Service Shoe but were issued until stocks ran out about 1928. Ours are built on Munson lasts of american bridle leather tallowed and waxed. They are dyed the correct army russet.
