A pair of large concrete cowboy boots, 40-ft. tall and 35-ft. wide, loom in front of a Saks Fifth Avenue and parking garage for the North Star Mall.
They are decorated with Christmas lights in December and attract much mall business.
Though large by gargantuan footwear standards, they suffer from the same diminished grandeur of scale that plagues giant things near big cities (or over-the-top shopping foci, such as MN's Mall of America). These Big Boots would seem much more important about 150 miles west. Still worth a photo op stop.
