Description

View Rare Nocona Vtg White label Men’s Snakeskin Western Boot Pre-1980's Texas USA with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. These boots are prized for their history, having been manufactured during the period when Nocona was known as the "Cowboy Boot Capital of the World". Beautiful pair of rare and saught after Noncona boots. These boots feature a snakeskin vamp, with a flame embroidered front and back shaft. They do not make them like this anymore. Nocona white label vintage boots, dating primarily from the 1950s to the 1970s, represent the "golden era" of Enid Justin’s independent Nocona Boot Company, founded in 1925. These high-quality, Texas-made boots feature a white label (or stamp) inside the shaft and are renowned for superior craftsmanship before the company was acquired by Justin Industries in the early 1990s.  Founder & Legacy: Enid Justin, daughter of H.J. Justin (founder of Justin Boots), started the company in 1925 in Nocona, Texas, after her brothers moved the original family business to Fort Worth. The "White Label" Era: White label boots generally signify production during the 1950s through the 1970s. They often feature horizontal text and are considered to be built with higher quality standards, featuring durable leather and construction often superior to later, mass-produced boots. Key Distinctions: Earlier vintage models often featured vertical blue/green text, which transitioned to horizontal white tags in the 1960s. These boots are prized for their history, having been manufactured during the period when Nocona was known as the "Cowboy Boot Capital of the World". Transition: After Enid Justin's death in 1990, the company was acquired by Justin Industries, ending the era of independent, family-owned production.  Collectors often look for these white labels as a sign of authentic, pre-merger, handcrafted Nocona quality. Sizing Key Takeaways for Vintage Nocona Fit: Men:  True to size. If you wear a 10D in shoes, a 10D or 10-1/2D in vintage Nocona will likely fit well. Women:  Generally need to go down a full size (e.g., a 7 in modern shoes is often a 6 in vintage Nocona). Width:  Nocona is famous for having many width options (ranging from AAA to EEE), though some, especially older pairs, can feel slightly narrow. Condition: Pre-owned - Excellent.
