Our Trip to OKC.

Mel and I went to OKC for a routine doctor's appointment.  After doing that we did some Christmas shopping.
Lunch was at P.F. Chang's - Delicious!
Next, we went to Loveless Custom Boots and Orthopedic store.  Mel ordered 2 pairs of custom made boots - one for dress and one for work.  It was very interesting and informative about how they do custom boots.  In 3 - 4 months Mel should have his new boots.

Lunch

This is one of 4 racks for selection of leathers for boots.

The Process:

Make an impression of the foot

Impressions of Mel's feet

Elephant skin for his work boots

Another style of elephant skin - for his dress boots
 Elephant skin is the most durable of leathers for boots.  We were told just to clean then, put some polish on and they will look as good as new!  That's what Mel needs!

The custom boots will be featured when completed.
