OR MANY, BOOTS ARE AT THE CENTER OF MONTANA
LIFE. Sometimes they're made of ostrich, or God knows
what exotic material, with ornate patterns liable to dazzle
all of the cowboys on the dance floor. Sometimes they are
something warm and water repellant to be tugged on be-
fore heading out to feed the animals in the pre-dawn gloom.
Sometimes they're steel-toed and rubber-soled to protect the
wearer. Sometimes they're something we lace up tightly be-
fore filling our backpack with water and goodies and running
into the mountains.
But if you're a Montanan, we've got a crisp ten dollar bill that
says you have a pair of boots. Or a whole closet full of them.
Thank goodness, then, for Jeff and Garrett Carter, who
between them have about a half of a century of experience
working with boots. Both of them, it might be noted, started
working with boots at 16-years-old—for Jeff, owner of Carter's
boots, that's about 42 years, while for his son Garrett, that's
about seven years. Both were born and raised in Montana.
