He passed mid 80s. The boots came to me through the family grapevine as they didn't fit anyone. First try and they were like a glove. Thought it was pretty cool my Grandfather and I had the same size foot. 100 yo boots and still marching on. They are now my favorite pair of riding boots. A lil mink oil to moisturize and protect and they were good as new. As others have said don't make boots like these anymore. Nothing lasts as it once did. We live in a one time use society. I even have the orginal box they came in. Remarkable. Love the info on the site.

I use to wear Hyer boots until I couldn't find them anymore. I have 18 pair of Olathe boots of which 14 were made in Olathe, Kansas. They are all High top boots and I love them.

I remember in the 1960's a regular cowboy could afford good boots like these. Today's stuff is ugly...even the ones made by the fancy companies don't compare in style to these.

Smitty's boots are much better made. I have known and followed Smitty through three moves of the shop. The fit and craftmanship can't be beat. I feel so strongly that I have bought a pair for every member of my family! That's commitment. I've got a pair on order right now.CTBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395895470900704899.post-73021809546407088552012-09-17T20:20:54.290-04:002012-09-17T20:20:54.290-04:00awesome!awesome!Stan Lyndehttp://stanlyndeauthor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395895470900704899.post-26199228332877450212012-07-22T22:05:18.983-04:002012-07-22T22:05:18.983-04:00I just came across a hand made box, like a keepsak...I just came across a hand made box, like a keepsake chest someone made from wood kirkendall board that have the kirkendall custom made boots advertising on it.
