I didn’t know whether to post the images here, or in the "Heraldic Arts" forum! I couldn’t find any larger images.
The Diocese of Orange’s new bishop shows off his boots; the backside having his episcopal Coat of Arms:

on the front is what appears to be Our Lady of Guadalupe:

Pretty cool!
The expression on Bishop Brown’s face says it all. De rigeur in Texas isn’t really gonna fly in the OC.
I bought my first pair of good boots in the OC, from a chain called "Boot Barn". Still wearing them. Got a hat, too. Flatten the brim and it could be a "galero".
They look like "Tony Llama’s", too.
