Star Trek boots again!

 I had previously reported on Star Trek boots (back in 2015!) built by Luis Jovel, bootmaker, in Fresno, California.  The previoous report is at http://blog.retro-link.com/2015/07/star-trek-tos-boot.html  Well, he is making some new boots for me, and here are the pictures of them at his shop.  His website is not working, but he is on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/p/Luis-Custom-Shoes-Cowboy-Boot-Maker-100057184311123/

Truly,

Robert Bernardo

The zippers go all the way to the soles.

Built to custom fit my feet

The leather is very soft.

Shiny but not too shiny

Unlike the 2015 version, this one has an inner lining.
