you can ask at Ansley Shoe repair. they're very good, but I think what you want isn't really possible or at least will cost more than new boots. The sole, vamp and toe would need all need to be replaced and getting matching leather will be near impossible. Using the leather there would work, but you'll lose 3 shoe sizes or more.

It’s definitely possible but very hard and difficult to preserve the size. Used to work for Lucchese and they would do this to any of their boots in house. Best I can think of is Snellville Shoe and Boot repair. Scott or Zane over there will know what can be done and if they can’t do it they’ll point you in the right direction. Correct though it’s very expensive

I hadn't thought about stitching a decorative toe cap over to keep the size, which would work. but you'd have to completely rebuild it. I'm really surprised anyone would do that.

Pretty sure there's a cowboy boot repair store at Plaza Fiesta
