I think this is my favorite post of the year so far!

I have no idea about the boots. I doubt there's anything specifically flamenco about them (I mean, not dance shoes) so: have you tried asking on a shoe maker forum, assuming there are any, or a fashion/style forum?

According to Wikipedia Paco didn't move to Mexico full time until 1998, but surely he toured there. I mention it because the boots look to me like they might be Mexican.

And there are several boot makers in Texas who could make you a pair like that for a few hundred bucks. You might have to show up at their workshop to get you feet measured.

Yeah I understand. I just meant that you might have more luck finding someone with a good eye for that sort of thing on a forum specializing in shoes, but you never know!

Now we are getting very close to justifying the title of this thread.

They look like regular day-to-day leather boots, they are not for dance nor for horseback riding. I believe in English these are called chelsea boots. Generally these kind of boots go a little above the ankle and have an elastic fabric on both sides. However these ones appear to be slightly higher so they need to have a zipper on the inner side instead of the elastics.

As Richard suggested, try to find an experienced artisanal bootmaker and show him what you want.
