Participated in Louisiana alligator trapping season last year. I caught 3 gators and had the hides tanned by Sebring Tannery. Now its time to get some alligator boots made! Anyone know of a boot maker? What can I expect to pay to have them done? Might have to wait a few years if the price isn't affordable right now. Thanks T-MAN!

I know a fellow that builds boots. I'll have to get his info for you. He grew up in the same little town I did. I'll see what I can find out for you.

You could go to leatherworker.net and there are some bookmakers on the site.

Went to a concert few weeks ago for Eric church and they had this boot line there and it’s some fine craftsmanship I tell you, every boot is custom fit, I bet they could do something nice for you

Actually i think it might be closer to $500 for basic boots. You might contact him and see.

I converted my FL gator into a pair of awesome boots. With matching belt and leatherman case. At any given party in Alaska, I'm normally the only one in the room who "killed his own boots!" I carry a photo of me and the gator to make the point when I wear them.

Those talented people are disappearing in our world. I have had a few pairs custom made for through the years. The man that built them isn't with us today. Nothing like a custom made boot that fit like they should and last because of quality.

I hope you find a boot maker.
