Papa Tony: 

I admit it - I am a seriously twisted boot fetishist. I have eighteen pairs of boots, and of course, I have my favorites:

I get plenty of good use out of them, believe me:

I recently decided that I had waited for too many years to get what I considered to be my Ultimate Fantasy Boot:

 

The Wesco Jobmaster.

I wanted them to look a particular way, and the only way to do it was to order them custom-built from the Wesco Boots factory.

I called the Wesco factory in Oregon (NOT CHINA) and ordered the $99 refundable package that contained the measuring form and tape, the DVD and a whole bunch of promotional materials. When it arrived, my boy and I did the full measuring routine, covering my entire leg below the knee, since I was ordering knee-high, twenty-inch boots.

I obsessed over the details, because I knew that I would be wearing them a lot, and that they would last me for the rest of my life if I took good care of them. I also wanted them to be uniquely MINE, as a form of self-expression.

I sent off the measurements and the money, and waited. I asked nicely, and they courteously provided me with photos showing my boots being constructed:

This shows the custom-constructed white-and-black “lasts” that represent my rather unique feet. The boots were built around them, so that when the boots arrived at my place, they fit my feet EXACTLY. Somebody recently asked me what size my boots were. I replied “MY size!” (15EEEE).

This shows the lasts being extracted before the boots can be completed.

I’m just shallow enough to have specified every single option that would make me taller (exactly 2-½" taller, in fact), when wearing the boots:

Why would I do such a thing, when I’m already the tallest guy in the building at every event? BECAUSE I CAN. Come on - Wouldn’t you love to show up as six foot seven and a half if you could?

The two boots, together, weigh 12.6 pounds. They are breaking in very nicely, as far as flexibility while walking. They are utterly comfortable, and I get an extra “jolt” to the ego from wearing them. Being a big, dominant kind of guy, I feel like they enhance the overall package.

My vanilla husband made a revealing comment after I had been wearing the boots for a month or so: He said “I would never order boots like that, but they sure are impressive!” I agree, and I’ve never worn them without hearing multiple admiring comments from complete strangers.

UPDATE: Another Custom-Boot Shop

I am hearing good reviews from customers of Embossy Boots in Spain. Perhaps I will give them a spin, next.

Papa Tony:

If you're lucky, you will attend an event for kinksters that includes a bootblack, busily shining and treating leather gear with loving attention. For many folks, this is not a common occurrence, so here are some tips to help you to understand what is going on, and how to behave:

1. Don’t interrupt a bootblack and customer unless you have prior permission to do so. If it’s clear that what is going on is more than a “regular bootblacking” and is bordering on a scene, DO NOT STEP IN. A tap on the bootblack’s shoulder is an easy way to get their attention without being intrusive. 

  

2. Don’t touch someone’s kit without permission. These are like our toy bags– you wouldn’t grab someone’s flogger from their bag without asking– don’t grab someone’s polish/rag/brush/etc without asking first.

3. If you are a customer, pay attention to the bootblack at hand. A bootblack is not just “Hired help”. They are giving you their attention, please do the same. Cruising the bar (it’s usually a higher seat and makes for a really good vantage point), or playing/being played with is acceptable and encouraged. Playing on the phone, is not.

4. If you are a customer, please tip. Bootblack supplies aren’t free. 5-20 dollars is appropriate based on what is done to your boots or other gear.

5. Bootblack does not equal submissive. Please ask before doing any touching, fondling, or other “top-like’ activities.

 

6. Women are bootblacks at leathermen’s events, too. Imagine meeting the coolest, most open-minded, wonderful human being you’ve ever met, who would never dream of cock-blocking you, shaming or judging ANYTHING in a negative way. You have a true sister, ally and lifelong friend in front of you, Behave accordingly.

7. Enjoy yourself. We love what we do and there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing someone fall in love with their leathers all over again.

 

Update from @FurryGuy2:

#8. Watch the bootblack at work, ask a regular customer or event organiser “How is today’s bootblack?” before deciding to put your $$$$ Wesco/Dehner/Chippewa boots under their care. I am very fussy about my boots and how they are polished. I have also seen some disasters happen with unknown bootblacks. It is imperative to TELL the bootblack your preferred polish level and any products that have gone on the surface previously.

This is wise advice. I had forgotten about the time that I attended a fundraiser around ten years back, in another city. I didn’t realize until too late that the volunteer bootblack had NO idea what he was doing. I figured it out when he started slopping black goo all over my meticulously-maintained, bright-yellow Kevlar stitches. It took my slave a long time to fix it later, using a yellow grease pencil. Stitch by stitch.

UPDATE: Where to Learn Bootblacking

This book seems to be a good resource.

Papa Tony:

Being a Flogging Top, AND a long-time collector of fetish boots, I like to reward a dedicated sub with a spectacular image of his back.

In my experience, this image becomes a treasured keepsake of a pleasurable (and intense) time together.

For those who flinch away, and worry that this is somehow torturous, it is not.  Every single man who has been through this process would gladly do back-flips, or pay good money to have it happen again.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Redden-up the sub's back. My classic instructional video can be of great help.

Quickly get him face-down, on the floor.  Speed is essential.

Press as hard as is polite and comfortable, with the boot, where the flesh is reddened…

If you are FAST enough at taking the picture at the right time, then you probably have a great picture, and might not need to continue with directions any further.  Everything after this is meant to make the image more impressive. I don't know how to accomplish the following photo-editing process on an Android phone.  I welcome feedback that would help me add more to this article!

If you have an iPhone, get it into position and HOLD DOWN the button to start a burst of photos, as you quickly move the boot to a position next to the boot print, as shown above. That boot print goes away fast.

On the iPhone, tap on the miniature pic on the lower left, and then tap “Select”.  Slide through the images until you find the perfect, CLEAR boot print. Tap on it to mark it, and tap “Done” to delete the un-needed images.

At this point, make the sub kneel next to you, and wrap his arms around your leg. You have a little more work to do.

Editing:

WHY do we want to edit the image?  Because the sub deserves to see what the human eye sees, not the washed-out, grayish image that the phone's camera picks up.

Go to your Photos app, and then to your Camera Roll. Tap the boot print image. Tap the word "Edit" at the upper right.

Tap the "V" symbol to the right of the word "Light".

Tap on "Brightness", and then adjust the image to become slightly darker.  That gets the image ready for the next part.  Tap "Done".

Then, tap "Contrast", and drag to the left to make the image's boot-print "pop!".  The amount is up to you.  We are not making a documentary.  Our goal is to make the image as impressive as it was in real life.

Final editing step: Tap the "V" symbol  next to "Color" and tap on "Saturation". Drag to the left until the back looks realistically red.  Try not to make it TOO much of a reddened horror-show.  Tap "Done".

Immediately show it to the sub, and text it to him, on the spot.  Tell him that he has earned this trophy image because he has pleased you so very much.  Only a real, dedicated submissive could have earned something so nice, and took it so well.

Time to cuddle!
