Most of them were auctioned off later that year. There are about a half dozen still scattered around town. For more, see this website. [map] |

These two Cowboy Boots in Columbus are installed at the T-Bone Truck Stop. They were probably from the same mold and, most likely, made at the same time, as the Boots in Cheyenne, WY described above. These photos are from 2006. In 2019, the boots were washed away during flooding. They have since been returned and repainted. [map]

The Boot in Clovis was installed above Sasser's Boot & Shoe Repair. This photo is from 2012. The store and boot are gone now. It appeared to be a former Justin or Tony Lama Boot. However, it didn't have the bulge for either company's logo.
