This is the Nocona Boot Factory in Nocona, Texas. The Justin family started making cowboy boots in Texas in 1879. They eventually moved to Nocona in 1887 because the train came through the town. Miss Enid Justin started Nocona Boots in 1925 after her father passed on and her brothers moved their boot company to Fort Worth.
Boots were made in this factory until 1999 when the factory was moved to El Paso, Texas. This building stands as a reminder of the past. It seems to be still be in remarkable shape considering how long it’s been empty. I didn’t see any broken windows and the lot is well-kept. Read more about Nocona Boots history.

Cowboy Boots
Cowboy boots are very popular in Texas. Have you ever owned a pair of cowboy boots? What type of footwear is popular where you live?

Yep, I’ve got a pair of Cowies!
Round toes, straight heels and no decorations.
I bought them in 1980 and they still look great!

That’s the good thing about cowboy boots — purchase a good pair and they’ll last forever. 🙂 🙂

I’ll admit that they’ve had a few new soles, but yes look after a good pair and they look after you. Excellent value for money!
