I was at an event this weekend and was told of an outfit in El Paso called El Paso Boot & Shoe, or something of that nature. I'd like to look at their brogans. I cannot find them on the web. Can anyone help?
Many thanks,
Scott Jackson
Brogans made in El Paso?

The shoes appear to be of a very low quality, especially for $70, I'd stick with Robert Land,MB&S, or Cedar Creek for decent shoes.
Y'all need to lighten up on the moderation, no need for the JBT tactics, jeeez.

too bad they dont make Civil War boots and shoes. Though, the spy shoes would be perfect for your Belle Boyd impression.
Do you know what you're talking about?

Everyone mocking fellow reenactors should be ashamed of yourselves. The man never said he wanted to purchase these shoes, he just wanted to see them.

You just don't like me because I got past 6th grade English.

On a topical note: I've seen a couple CABoots products in reenacting use, one being the cavalry boots, the other the brogans, and to be honest I thought they look just fine.
The corporal of the group I'm with has the cavalry boots and he loves them. Based on that, I'm probably going to get a pair of shotgun boots from CA Boots.

Given the conspicuous absence at many events by my fellow reenactors of all degrees of perceived authenticity due to the mere threat of rain in Alabama during the Spring, I hereto shall lay claim to the title "Hardcore Reenactor".

Judging by the pics on their site, that is some thin looking leather on the brogans. maybe their boots are OK, but I really don't like the look of those brogans.
