Allen Edmonds Dallas Leather Roper Boots Black New without box. Store floor item, have minor imperfections from handling and try-ons, size mark is faded. Rugged freedom. Dependable functionality. Qualities that define a uniquely American invention: western wear. The durable roper boot was first developed in the 1940s as a hardworking alternative to traditional cowboy footwear for rodeo riders. A shorter heel and round toe made it easier to transition from wearing it with stirrups in the saddle to running on the ground when roping cattle. This style builds on that history of proven utility with the sturdiness of our signature bench welt construction and outsoles that combine the classic look of leather with the traction of rubber panels at the toe and heel. Featuring uppers made with best-quality leather or suede from some of the world's top tanneries, we gave this frontier classic an elevated upgrade. -Pull-on western roper boot with traditional, higher shaft height -Pebbled grain leather upper -Leather lined interior -Leather outsoles with rubber panels for added traction -CustomCork insoles that will mold to the unique shape of your foot -Handcrafted in Port Washington, Wisconsin with imported materials
