We Toured Two Cowboy Boot Factories and Saw the World’s Largest Cowboy Boots

Each pair of boots at Rocketbuster Boots is hand-tooled and hand stitched in a small historic building in El Paso, Texas, and takes from 3-8 months to complete. Celebrity  customers include Sheryl Crow, Taylor Swift and Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

It also has  the world’s largest pair of boots as certified by Guinness World Records – size 328-D. 

About 10 miles away, the Lucchese boot factory is huge, buzzing with hundreds of employees each focused on their part of the 50 steps required to create a boot. 

We were lucky enough to tour both.
