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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHondo Boots\u003cbr\u003eHondo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHondo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eThese 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nashville Booted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49950229332245,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2599\/8869\/files\/E3D9043A-7BDD-4EDB-AD66-2A564784F72D.jpg?v=1780510908","url":"https:\/\/nashvillebooted.com\/products\/vintage-1970s-hondo-butterfly-tall-cowgirl-boots-size-women-s-7-5-b","provider":"Nashville Booted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
