For more than a century, cowboy boots have been an iconic part of American Western culture. And in recent years they’ve had a resurgence in mainstream fashion thanks to musical artists like Beyonce and popular shows like "Yellowstone."

Which for craftsman Morgan Buckert is a good thing. She’s a custom bootmaker based out of Hailey, Idaho and makes gear so beautiful that it's literally been displayed in museums.

Buckert joined Idaho Matters to talk more about her craft.
