These boots are fierce (and comfortable). I am only parting with them because I do not wear them anymore because I do not dress up for work. Black distressed "handwash" finish. Pull on and lace up style with zippers on the inside ankle for ease. Signature read treaded sole with subtle red stitching. Yes, some wear on the soles and creases on the shank and foot, but these boots have a lot of life left and deserve to be shown off! They are a generous size 11. These are not the wide calf version, but the lacing in the back adapts to a variety of calf sizes.
