These boots are awesome and in excellent pre-owned condition from my personal closet! Unfortunately my foot has grown so my loss is your gain. Almost a perfect dupe for the Frye 8R Engineer boot, minus the $468 price tag. There is some wear on the right heel from driving but a man on a galloping horse would never notice it - see photos. Otherwise, they are in wonderful condition and ready for fall. 100% genuine leather, Cabela’s quality. I have maintained them using Harley Davidson leather care so they should be fairly waterproof (or at least resistant).
