This past year was a wild one here at Paul Bond Boots. We built everything from thigh high cowboy boots to exotic English riding boots! However, in the midst of all the chaos and fun, we managed to sneak in a photoshoot at the one and only Holler and Saunders, located in Nogales, Arizona.
It was such a privilege to have our boots photographed at such a breathtaking venue. Founded in 1979 and known for their Latin American antiques, Holler and Saunders has graced the pages of Architectural Digest, Town & Country, and Veranda. We are forever grateful to Sam and Eddie for making this dream come true!
To bring our boots to life, we had the good fortune of working with photographer, Ali Megan, the founder of Ali Megan Photography. Having shot and directed many shoots at Holler & Saunders, we instantly knew she was the woman for the job! Her vision and talent gave a new edge to the classical western cowboy storyline.
Lastly, we want to give a BIG thank you to all the models. You were professional, gifted, and inspiring, but most of all, you looked like naturals in your Paul Bond’s!
What a great way to end one year and begin another! Lots to come in 2015, including A LOT of traveling. If you think we should hit your town, please email me at alex@paulbondboots.com!

Thank you Alex for the sweet and thoughtful words. I know I can speak for everyone involved with this shoot…truly a wonderful experience!! A great personal honor for me, as Paul Bond Boots are legendary and have a rich history connected to my roots.
Hi James! We would love to see photos of your boots in action!! Please send some to alex@paulbondboots.com if you get the time!
Hi Ashley! We would definitely be interested in participating. Shoot me an email at alex@paulbondboots.com with more info!
hey Alex! Love the pics! Thursday, May 21 we would love to have Paul Bond Boots be a part of our salute to Wichita Falls western heritage. I will send you more details but it would be a great time to start taking orders for 2916 Cattlebarons Ball …
Congratulations on your new Art Photography of your Paul Bond Designs in beautiful in a beautiful southwestern design enviornment. It has inspired me for some new projects with you. Can’t wait to discuss them with you!
Great photos, fantastic boots! I ordered a pair of custom boots many years ago; and, in fact, by coincidence I am wearing them now! They are wonderful boots, and you cannot mistake the quality or looks of a fine pair of Bond Boots. I came across some slightly used pairs shortly thereafter, bought them too, and have not bee n disappointed – they were like new. I particularly like tall boots. The prices of the today’s boots have gone up from what I paid, but then what hasn’t gone up in price. Cheap boots just done look as good or fit as well – the quality isn’t there. You get what you pay for. I still love all of my Paul Bond Boots and see some in your pictures that would be great to wear. Keep up the good work!

Beautiful boots! Wish I could have ordered a pair when I lived in the Sulpher Springs valley
near El Frida. Keep up the good work.
Can we see actual cowboy boots, truly hard at work. I can email a photo of mine. Let me know
