History

W. E. Adkins ran a one-man shop, W. E. Adkins Custom Boots, in Blossom, Texas, profiled in Joe Nick Patoski's June 2002 Texas Monthly roundup. He had 25 years of bootmaking experience by that point, though no calendar year for when he started is given. His specialty was cowboy boots for local customers, priced from $395 and taking two to four months.

No given name beyond the initials ‘W. E.’ has been found.
