^^^^^ Nice boots Jack. They started you out right.
These were my wife's:
Can't see mine unfortunately, but not sure I can state that I was started out right as I'm "Dale Evans" on the left:

Me on the left. Cowboy boots have heels, is that where I got it from?

Back in the mid-1800's it was common to dress little boys in a flour sack dress until they were potty trained. Outlaw Frank James & his wife Annie only had one child, a son named Robert. During the yrs they were hiding in TN & later in MD they dressed Robert & disguised him as a little girl. Robert grew up to be one strange dude. He was married twice, both of his wive's were named Mae, never had children & lived until 1955.
In the following yrs there were many divorces in the James family. Jesse James had 4 granddaughters who never married although one had a child, & 4 grandsons (last name Barr) who had multiple marriages & divorces. One of the ex-granddaughter-in-laws was quoted as saying, "It's hard on a marriage living with the ghost of Jesse James."
Sounds like a campus boot. Check out the Frye 14L to see if that's the style you're looking for. I know nothing about them but a size 14 stock boot in that style may be a unicorn hunt.
I've posted these before, but it's been awhile. Nocona bull hides, tough and gnarly.

Enjoy seeing those, Dd. Some of the deepest grain seen on bullhide. Looks elephant like.

These Cowtown bullhides are fairly close to your hides.

I carried on the tradition with my son. Today his first pair are still around. One of them sits in the kitchen window with a Opuntia "bunny ear" cactus growing in it.

The grain does look alike! My wife has a pair of Noconas identical to mine, but with shallow grain, compared to these.

That is cool, I remember people used to have baby shoes bronzed. I wonder if that is still done? I think the little boots look best original though.

DD, I notice in your outdoor pics that you have a lot of cactus around. I have several outside including a cast iron cauldron full of prickly pair Opuntia. Always look forward to when they bloom; never look forward to cleaning out the weeds & leaves that blow into the cauldron. I have a long pair of medical tweezers for that!
In the house I like dwarf cactus like the soft bunny ear.

I know what you mean. I have pine trees and cactus, not a good combination. I use long barbecue tongs to remove pine needles. My favorite cactus is an Easter Lily Cactus, that belonged to my mother. It is very old and the bloom display is spectacular. Sometimes producing about 40 large trumpet shaped flowers at a time, in a peach color.

Are they cold weather hardy? Probably not. Take a pic next time it blooms.
I get so many cuttings started I don't know what to do with them.

Yes, cold hardy, they have been snowed on and winter temperatures here can get below freezing at night. Here is one of its displays, a couple others too.
