Thick lug soles, hand-finished, best quality leather -- buckles and rivets and straps, oh my. YOU CAN'T BUY THESE BOOTS FOR LOVE OR MONEY ANY MORE! Socofy, maker of the best artisanal footwear in the world, no longer makes them. No one who ever carried them -- Super Lady Star, Ali Express, Amazon -- has a single pair. So I found the manufacturer and had some custom made and shipped to me here in California. They are brand new, and I'm selling them for less than what they cost when you could get them. These boots are comfortable, sturdy, and attract compliments everywhere I go. Lace up the front, zip up the side... the thick rubber soles make every step a dream. I've walked all over Europe in them. They will be your favorite boots forever (and I have them in multiple sizes - just ask.)
