gets business boost
HOUSTON (AP) — When Presi
dent Bush pulled up his pant leg and
showed off his cowboy boots during
an inaugural ball, Rocky Carroll
couldn’t have asked for better adver
tising.
Longtime customers to Carroll’s
Houston boot shop say his business
has soared so much you have to
drive around the block a couple of
times in order to get a parking place
in front.
Others clad in Carroll-made boots
include some Texas A&M University
senior cadets, former Texas Gov.
John Connally, actor Patrick Swayze,
race car driver A.J. Foyt, several
Houston Oilers, Houston and Dallas
police officers and Ringling Broth
ers clowns.
01301702For Carroll, making
boots for Bush, former President
Reagan or anyone else is a joy.
“I love what I do,” said Carroll,
who learned the craft from his par
ents and has passed the trade to his
son and daughter, who operate two
other shops in Houston. “Making
boots and shoes is a dying art.
“I was raised in a shoe shop. My
mother said I used to suck on a
leather heel and cut my first tooth
on an old heel,” said Carroll, whose
grandparents started the family boot
making business in Tenaha in East
Texas.
He recalls making his first pair of
boots in his father’s shop when he
was 10. Since 1956 he has been cre
ating personalized designs for cow
boys, businessmen, politicians and
anyone else who calls or stops by his
RJ’s Boot Co.
Bush’s office called before his re
cent Far East trip. The request: four
pairs of boots.
The call came on a Friday af
ternoon. The White House wanted
the boots by Tuesday. The president
was leaving Wednesday.
No problem.
Carroll made the boots — includ
ing a black pair with a Chinese flag
on the front of one and an American
flag on its companion — and had
them in Washington by Monday
night.
Bush gave a pair to Chinese Pre
mier Li Peng, who said he’d proba
bly wear them on his visit to the
United States.
Carroll says he’s honored Bush
asked him to make the boots and is
just as honored to make boots for
Bush himself. He made the first pair
for Bush in about three days, at the
request of Houston Police Depart
ment officers who escort Bush
through town when he visits.
The black size 11D had the out
line of the state of Texas with the
Texas flag inside and his initials on
the side.
Bush apparently showed off his
boots to Reagan, who turned around
and called Carroll himself. Reagan
ordered two pair — size lO'/aB — of
brown and black ostrich and invited
Carroll to the White House.
He and his wife made their first
trip to Washington on Dec. 15 to de
liver the boots to Reagan. Carroll
also gave another pair to Bush, this
time black alligator with the presi
dential seal.
“When we went into the oval of
fice, he and the president were teas
ing each other saying, ‘My boots are
better looking than yours,’ ” Carroll
said. “Bush was like a kid with a new
toy.”
“Reagan said his boots were like
putting on a pair of socks,” Carroll
recalls, saying that was one of his
greatest compliments.
Cowboys especially boost business
during the annual Houston Live
stock Show and Rodeo with orders
for handmade boots that range in
price from $295 to $6,500.
Carroll says he can make a pair of
boots in a day and does so often.
“I try to build my business on
service,” the 51-year-old bootmaker
says.
Among his customers are coun
try-western singers Larry Gatlin,
Dwight Yoakum, Lynn Anderson
and Willie Nelson.
