Happy anniversary to the iconic ‘World’s Largest Boots’ sculpture! It arrived in San Antonio in January 1980.
1. The “World’s Largest Cowboy Boots” sculpture stands an impressive 35-feet, three inches tall. It is 30-feet long, nine–feet wide and weighs 10,000 pounds.
“The company that owned North Star Mall actually ended up in a bidding war between a couple other properties in Texas because everybody wanted these booths at their location. We won and we were able to purchase them for $20,000,” said Brenda Crawford, Senior General Manager at North Star Mall.4. Getting them to San Antonio was a tall task. They became stuck under an overpass so drivers had to take all back roads to North Star.
7. The boots are in the Guiness Book of World Records and a popular location to take a picture. They have been used in commercials and national campaigns to highlight the city. “One of the things that he said about the boots is they would hold 300,000 gallons of beer. We haven’t tried it and I don’t know if Bob drank that much beer, but with that kind of sums up who Bob is,” said Crawford.9. Wade is known for several other giant creations, including a 40-foot long iguana that sits atop the Ft. Worth Zoo. Wade also created the dancing frogs on the roof of a Taco Cabana in Dallas and a 70-foot high saxophone in Houston.
