Vintage Dan Post Rainbow Snakeskin Cowboy Boots
Size: Women’s 7.5 M

Maker: Dan Post Boot Company
Era: 1980s
Material: Multi-Color Dyed Genuine Snakeskin Vamps, Blue Leather Shafts with Snakeskin Inlays
Condition: Good Vintage Condition

The Boots
These are the boots that turn heads and start conversations. A stunning pair of vintage Dan Post cowboy boots featuring genuine snakeskin vamps dyed in a kaleidoscope of rich jewel tones — emerald green, deep burgundy, burnt orange, and charcoal black — all pieced together in a patchwork pattern that catches the light differently with every step. The effect is nothing short of spectacular.

The tall shafts are crafted from supple blue leather with elaborate multi-row stitching in a sweeping flame pattern. What sets these apart from a standard exotic boot is the integration of matching rainbow snakeskin inlays within the shaft stitching itself, creating a seamless visual flow from the vamp up through the upper. Peek-through windows of golden and green snakeskin appear between the stitched flames, tying the entire boot together as one cohesive piece of wearable art.

Dan Post and the Exotic Boot Boom
The Dan Post Boot Company built its reputation on bold, fashion-forward designs that pushed the boundaries of traditional Western wear. During the 1980s, when cowboy boots crossed over from country dance halls into mainstream fashion, Dan Post was at the forefront of the exotic leather movement. Their multi-color dyed snakeskin boots became iconic — a favorite of women who wanted Western style with serious visual impact.

This particular design represents the pinnacle of that era: the combination of dyed patchwork snakeskin, colored leather, and intricate stitching required significantly more labor and material than a standard boot, making these a premium offering even when new.

Condition
These boots show honest vintage wear consistent with a well-loved pair from the 1980s. The snakeskin remains intact and the scales are tight throughout. The blue leather shafts show some natural creasing and softening that comes with age. The leather soles show moderate wear, and the stacked heels remain solid and structurally sound. Pull straps are intact. Overall, these present beautifully and are ready to wear.

The Bottom Line
Finding a pair of vintage Dan Post rainbow snakeskin boots in this condition is increasingly difficult. The multi-color dyed snakeskin style has become a sought-after collector’s piece, and these deliver the full package — bold color, exotic texture, and the unmistakable confidence of 1980s Western fashion at its most daring.

Vintage 1980s/Early 1990s Zalo Southwestern Cowboy Scene Boots
Size: Women’s 7 M
Maker: Zalo 
Era: Late 1980s / Early 1990s
Condition: Good Vintage Condition

The Boots
A stunning pair of vintage Zalo cowboy boots featuring an elaborate, multi-material Southwestern desert scene rendered entirely in leather inlays and appliqués across the black suede shafts. Every element tells a story — and every angle reveals a new detail.

The centerpiece of the design is a large cowboy figure crafted from textured black lizard-print leather, complete with a wide-brimmed hat, poncho, and lasso. He stands amid a desert landscape populated by silver-toned snakeskin prickly pear cacti, a golden crescent moon rising behind him, metallic shooting stars with arrow tails, and a lizard-skin sun peeking over the horizon. The entire scene is set against black suede, giving the inlays a rich, dimensional quality that pops off the boot.

The toe caps are crafted from embossed crocodile-print leather, while the collar features a dramatic scalloped overlay in glossy black leather with ornate Western scroll cut-outs. The back of each boot showcases the prickly pear cactus prominently, flanked by the crescent moon motif. Leather fringe detailing at the sides adds movement and texture.

The boots sit on a comfortable fashion heel with leather soles stamped with the Zalo branding and “Made in Spain.”

Zalo: Fashion Meets the Frontier
Zalo was a Spanish-made fashion boot brand that gained a devoted following in the late 1980s and early 1990s for their wildly creative, artistically driven Western boots. While traditional bootmakers focused on stitching and classic inlay patterns, Zalo took an entirely different approach — treating each boot as a canvas for narrative Southwestern art.

Their boots were sold in upscale boutiques and department stores, appealing to fashion-conscious women who wanted the Western silhouette with a level of artistic detail and playfulness that no traditional bootmaker was offering. Zalo boots were handcrafted in Spain using multiple exotic-print leathers, suede, metallic accents, and dimensional appliqué techniques that set them apart from anything else on the market.

Today, vintage Zalos have become highly collectible, particularly the figural designs like this cowboy scene. They represent a specific moment in fashion history when Western wear crossed over into the mainstream art and fashion world.

Condition
These boots are in good vintage condition. The black suede shafts show some wear and light fading consistent with age. All leather inlays — the cowboy figure, cacti, moon, stars, and fringe — remain securely attached and intact. The crocodile-print toe caps show minor scuffing. The leather soles show moderate wear, and the heels are solid. The interior is clean. These boots have been well cared for and have plenty of life left.

Vintage 1990s Liberty Stars & Moons Cowgirl Boots
Size: Women’s 7 C

Maker: Liberty Boot Co.
Era: 1990s
Condition: Good Vintage Condition

The Boots
Celestial magic meets Western tradition. These vintage Liberty boots feature a stunning stars-and-moons inlay design that feels like a desert night sky rendered in leather. Bold turquoise six-point stars, golden crescent moons, and delicate climbing vine leaves cascade across cream leather shafts, creating one of the most visually captivating boot designs of the 1990s.

The tall cream shafts are loaded with detail: large turquoise leather star inlays dominate the upper portion, while golden yellow crescent moon inlays cradle smaller turquoise stars at the center of each boot. Slender climbing vines with golden leaf inlays wind upward between the celestial motifs, adding organic movement to the geometric star shapes. Every element is outlined in precise brown stitching that ties the composition together.

The vamps are crafted from rich cognac brown leather with a sharp snip toe and natural creasing that speaks to a well-loved boot. The transition from vamp to shaft features a dramatic scalloped overlay in the cognac leather, creating a beautiful frame for the cream-and-turquoise artwork above. Brown leather pull straps and brown piping along the seams complete the warm, earthy color palette.

The soles have been resoled with rubber half-soles for added traction and longevity — a sign that someone loved these boots enough to invest in keeping them going.

Liberty Boot Co.
Liberty Boot Co. built a devoted following in the 1990s and 2000s for their bold, artistic inlay designs that pushed cowgirl boots into the realm of wearable art. Based in the bootmaking heartland of Texas, Liberty became known for their willingness to use color fearlessly — turquoise, red, gold, cream — in combinations that traditional makers wouldn’t touch. Their star and celestial designs became particularly iconic, earning them a loyal following among women who wanted boots with personality and soul.

Liberty boots were handcrafted with quality leather construction throughout, and their inlay work was executed with a level of precision that elevated them above the mass-market competition. Today, vintage Liberty boots — particularly the star designs — have become highly collectible in the resale market.

Size: Women’s 7.5 B

Maker: Hondo Boots (Made in Mexico)
Style: 8070
Era: 1970s
Condition: Good Vintage Condition

The Boots
These are the boots that Stevie Nicks would have worn to write Rhiannon. A stunning pair of vintage 1970s Hondo tall cowgirl boots in black leather, adorned with bold burgundy and gold butterfly inlays that give these boots an unmistakable bohemian-meets-Western mystique.

The extra-tall stovepipe shafts rise well above the calf, creating a dramatic silhouette that was the hallmark of 1970s cowgirl fashion. Each boot features a large, striking butterfly inlay at the upper shaft — rendered in deep burgundy leather with golden/snakeskin-print accent wings that catch the light. The butterflies are outlined in precise stitching that gives them a dimensional, almost appliqué quality against the black leather. A matching smaller butterfly adorns the outer vamp of each boot, tying the design together from toe to top.

The shafts feature subtle diamond stitching at the collar and a classic scalloped overlay at the vamp-to-shaft transition. The pointed snip toe and stacked wooden heel are pure 1970s Western — feminine, confident, and built for a night out. Black pull straps sit at the top of the tall shafts, and the interior is fully leather-lined in golden tan with the “Hondo Boots” woven label and “Made in Mexico / Hecho en Mexico” stamping clearly visible.

Hondo Boots
Hondo Boots was a respected maker of quality Western footwear, manufacturing their boots in Mexico with a focus on solid leather construction and bold design. During the 1970s, when the cowboy boot crossed over from country into rock, folk, and mainstream fashion, Hondo was producing some of the most visually striking women’s boots on the market. Their butterfly design became one of the most iconic motifs of the era — a symbol of freedom, femininity, and the free-spirited 1970s Western aesthetic.

Hondo boots were known for their generous shaft heights, quality leather, and the kind of bold inlay work that made them stand out on a shelf full of conservative brown boots. They were the boots of the counterculture cowgirl — the woman who listened to Emmylou Harris, wore turquoise jewelry, and danced barefoot when her boots came off at the end of the night.

Condition
These boots have been well worn and carry their years with character. The black leather shows natural creasing and softening throughout the tall shafts — this is soft, broken-in leather that has molded to a foot over decades of wear. All butterfly inlays remain securely attached with vibrant burgundy and gold coloring intact. The leather soles show significant wear. The stacked wooden heels show wear and weathering at the base. The snip toes show minor scuffing. The interior lining is clean and the Hondo label is intact. These boots have lived a full life and they’re ready for their next chapter.

The color combination is fearless, joyful, and completely unforgettable.

The shafts are crafted from bright blue leather and feature large yellow leather rose inlays on all four sides — front, back, inner, and outer — each with stitched petal detail and green leather stems with spiky leaves reaching upward. The roses are full-bloom, cheerful, and prominent. A dramatic scalloped black leather overlay frames the top of the blue panels, trimmed with green stitching and gold piping that ties the entire color palette together.

The black leather vamps feature elaborate green-and-yellow vine stitching that swirls from the pointed toe back through the ankle — a flowing, organic pattern that mirrors the rose stems above. At the heel counter, a bold green zigzag stitch pattern adds a graphic Southwestern accent. The pointed snip toe and stacked Western heel complete the classic cowgirl silhouette.

Gold/yellow piping runs along the front and back seams, adding a final pop of brightness to an already eye-catching design.

Champion Boot Co.
Champion Boot Co. was a quality bootmaker that produced bold, colorful Western footwear during the height of the 1980s cowboy boot boom. Their boots were known for vivid multi-color inlay work and a willingness to use the full spectrum of dyed leathers — blue, yellow, green, red — in combinations that made their boots stand out in any lineup.

Vintage 1980s Dan Post Tall Diamond Chain Cowgirl Boots
Size: Women’s 7.5 C 
Maker: Dan Post Boot Company
Era: 1980s
Condition: Good Vintage Condition

The Boots
These vintage Dan Post cowgirl boots have the kind of commanding presence that only an extra-tall shaft and bold multi-color inlay work can deliver. Standing well above the calf, these boots feature an intricate diamond chain inlay pattern in cream and emerald green that runs the full length of the tall black leather shafts — a design that catches the eye and holds it.

The centerpiece of the design is a repeating diamond lattice pattern: cream leather diamond shapes linked in a vertical chain, each framing a smaller emerald green almond-shaped inlay at its center. This chain motif runs down both the front and back of each boot, flanked by sweeping cream leather flame/heart inlays that add movement and drama to the composition. Bold red leather accent inlays appear at key points — at the upper shaft near the collar and at the transition from shaft to vamp — adding a pop of heat to the black, cream, and green palette.

Red leather piping runs the full length of the front seam, providing a clean, bright accent line that ties the red details together. The collar is finished with a red leather lining visible at the V-notch opening — a signature Dan Post touch. The black leather vamps feature traditional Western toe stitching and a pointed toe profile, while the chunky stacked heel provides a flattering, confident height.

The Tall Shaft Appeal
Extra-tall cowgirl boots from the 1980s occupy a special place in the vintage market. The generous shaft height — rising well above where most modern boots stop — creates a dramatic silhouette that works beautifully with skirts, tucked-in jeans, or shorts. Dan Post was known for producing these taller proportions during this era, and they’ve become increasingly sought-after as the vintage Western trend continues to grow.

Condition
These boots have been well worn and carry their years honestly. The black leather shows significant creasing and softening throughout the shafts and vamps — this is butter-soft, broken-in leather that has molded to a foot over decades. All cream, green, and red inlays remain securely attached and vibrant. The leather soles show heavy wear. The stacked heels show significant wear and scuffing. The pointed toes show scuffing and surface wear. The red piping is intact throughout. The interior lining shows normal vintage patina.

Old Gringo Golondrina Cowboy Boots
Size: Ladies 7.5 B
Maker: Old Gringo
Model: Golondrina (L1286-3)
Material: Distressed Cognac & Chocolate Leather with Multi-Color Inlays
Condition: Excellent — Hardly Used

The Boots
The Old Gringo Golondrina — one of the most iconic and sought-after designs in modern Western fashion. “Golondrina” means “swallow” in Spanish, and these boots bring the bird to life in stunning multi-color leather inlay: lavender/purple swallows soar across the chocolate-brown shaft panels, surrounded by red five-petal flowers with tiny turquoise centers, mint-green leaves, and graceful stems — a garden scene rendered in hand-cut leather on every side of the boot. At the collar, brown heart inlays with lavender accents and small arrow cutouts add romantic detail, while red/burgundy flame-scroll overlays at the wingtip toe give the design a bold, grounded finish.

The two-tone leather — warm honey cognac framing panels of rich distressed chocolate brown — creates depth and dimension, and Old Gringo’s signature hand-distressed finish gives each boot a lived-in, vintage-inspired character straight out of the box. The snip toe, stacked Western heel with branded “Old Gringo” heel caps, and the tall shaft height complete the silhouette.

Old Gringo & the Golondrina
Old Gringo has built a devoted following among women who want artistry, color, and craftsmanship in their Western boots. Handmade in León, Mexico — the bootmaking capital of the world — each pair is constructed from premium leathers with hand-laid inlays and hand-distressed finishing. The Golondrina is arguably their most famous and recognizable design: the swallows-and-flowers motif has become a modern classic, frequently sold out at retail and highly sought-after on the secondary market. These retail for over $600 new when available.

Condition
These boots have hardly been used — they’re in excellent condition. The leather is supple and the hand-distressed finish is beautifully intact (note: Old Gringo intentionally distresses the leather and metal toe/heel caps at the factory for a vintage-inspired look, so the worn appearance of the toe tips and heel caps is by design, not from wear). The inlays — swallows, flowers, leaves, hearts, and flame overlays — are all vibrant, secure, and pristine. The soles show only the lightest signs of being worn a handful of times. The interior is clean and fresh. This is as close to new as a pre-owned pair gets.

At the collar, a bold arrow/diamond inlay in matching dark brown frames the V-notch opening. It’s a love letter rendered in leather.

The silhouette is tall and flattering: a sharp snip toe on a tall stacked fashion heel (approximately 3 inches) that gives these real presence and leg-lengthening height.

These are not subtle. These are not trying to blend in. These are the boot equivalent of turning the amp up to eleven.

The skull design is bold and graphic: a grinning white leather skull with red-outlined eye sockets and teeth, flanked by thick white crossbones that extend across the full width of each shaft — front and back, wrapping 360 degrees. The red leather shadow behind the skull gives it a layered, almost tattoo-flash quality. Below, white flame inlays rise from the pointed snip toe, consuming the white leather toe cap and reaching up into the black vamp. White pull straps at the collar match the flame-and-bone palette.

The silhouette is all cowgirl attitude: a sharp snip toe on a tall fashion heel (approximately 3 inches), giving these real height and presence. Black leather throughout with the high-contrast white-and-red inlay work making them impossible to miss from any angle.

Corral & the Skull Boot
Corral Boots built a devoted following among women who want Western boots with edge — bold graphics, tattoo-inspired motifs, and rock-and-roll energy.

At the collar, a row of yellow-green diamond cutouts adds an unexpected pop of color. At the ankle transition, small white petal cutouts with yellow-green crescent-moon accents create a delicate counterpoint to the aggressive flames above. The red wingtip toe features a perforated brogue edge with a flowing black flame overlay, and the red heel counter on the back is crowned with a masquerade-mask-shaped cutout — a dramatic finishing detail that’s pure theater.

The snip toe, stacked Western heel, and supple black leather give these a classic cowgirl silhouette beneath all that rock-and-roll energy.

Tony Lama — Since 1911
