Free Lance Paris black suede tall moto boot

Black suede tall moto boot by luxury fashion shoe maker Free Lance Paris, a France-based company that had stores in Paris, known amongst Europeans for their high-end shoes and boots. Made in the EU. If you know, you know -- their shoes are made to a very high, consistent standard. This style, the "Biker 7" is one that they reinterpreted year after year with different details. All style/website photos depict the actual Free Lance biker boot from different years. This version is in black suede with brass hardware. Beautiful, comfortable. Retails for $1300-$1500 CAD after taxes/fees. Marked 38.5, fit like North American 8.5 (as is typical of FL sizing). Leather upper/lining/sole. Goodyear welted so that soles can be replaced in perpetuity. An investment that will last a life time. Gorgeous suede -- feels like calf suede. Thick and rich with a dense nap. Colour is deep, inky black. Photos are fairly accurate for colour. Evaluation of condition: -heels/soles in very good shape, lots of tread left on heel. Wood-stacked heel is dark and glossy black. See photos. -subtle/minimal marks on suede. Look like they've been worn a dozen times or less. Happy to provide more photos if needed. -buckles in great shape, adjustable -the "dots" across the ankle in photos 5 & 6 are just light filtering through the kitchen blinds, not actual marks on suede Smoke-free, pet-free home. **tagged "YSL" for listing exposure -- brand is Free Lance.
