It's a tall order to design boots for Big Tex. He wears a size 96. But one North Texas woman has done it.
Bonilla’s winning design features a setting sun behind a cactus with Texas wildlife.
The size 96 Lucchese boots were revealed Friday morning in Fair Park.
Many people spotted them on the highway in Dallas a few weeks ago, and one person shared a video with Good Day's friends at 99.5 The Wolf.
