Cattle rancher Keith Hill’s boots are nine years old and without scuffs. He’s replaced the soles once, and he says, “the material is still good enough that it’s like new."";s:3:"u

What do batik and cowboy boots have in common? Both are works of art and both are featured today on our Expressive Idaho program. We take a trip to a boot shop near Mackay and an art studio in Boise with reporter Olivia Weitz.

My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
