Who's George?
Lets
see...I was born and raised on a ranch in south east Idaho. I grew up
ridin´ horses, feedin´ cows, and causin´ trouble. I had no idea what
shoes were, but I sure knew what boots were growin´ up. After high school graduation, the Air Force, and Motorola, I found myself in Phoenix Arizona running my own leather shop and ridin´ bulls. It was around this time that I got to know an old custom boot maker by
the
name of Jesse Bogle. Every time ole´ Jesse came in I´d give him a hard
time about letting me make myself a pair of cowboy boots. Well, he finally let me make a pair and the rest is history. Old man Bogle asked me if I wanted to go to work for him in 1980 and about a year later I went out on my own and created Cowboy Boots by George!
Not to brag or nothin´ but I became well known in those parts for my craftsmanship. Frankly, I just got better and better - but Arizona got hotter and hotter! So I opened a boot and leather shop in Utah for a few years and in 1995 I retired and moved back to the ranch where I was born and raised.
Well, not to worry, I just like makin' cowboy boots for folks way too much and couldn't give it up... So I converted an old milk barn into my boot barn!
I get a lot repeat business, shoot I´ve even got one fella from Arizona that still calls me every 5 years or so for a pair. Anyway, four years ago my wife got the Internet and I figured I ought to go worldwide!
I´ve decided that the last few years of my life are going to be spent with my wife Jan, and handmakin´ cowboy boots for folks that can appreciate a damn good pair of boots.
