These deep cognac leather cowboy boots are meant to have a vintage, distressed look, so any scuffs or signs of wear only add to its uniqueness. They have beautiful detailing, featuring intricate embroidery and a whipstitch trim along the seams. Frye has a reputation for high quality, and these boots feel sturdy and durable. With proper care, they are sure to last a great many years. I have only worn them a few times and there is light scuffing on the soles (pictured).
