These boots are not only beautiful, but have a great purpose, too - they are snake bite proof. I purchased these a few years ago, because I lived in the Southwest, at the time (can you say rattlesnakes?). These are technically men's boots, but they are most definitely "unisex". Men's size 8 / women's size 9. These retailed new for close to $400 (with this style no longer available) - this pair has never been worn outside, and are not "broken in" at all. Leather foot (w/stylish stitching) with a "viper cloth" upper. Boots are 17" tall with an adjustable gusset, sturdy Vibram soles & removable insoles. *Note: the photo that shows the toe box has small dark "spots" - it's NOT a stain on the leather - it's rain drop spots (it was raining when I took photos), that have since dried. *PLEASE* REAL offers, only - I simply don't have the time (or patience) to deal with any "tire kickers" (or, worse yet, scammers). Make me a legitimate offer, and the transaction will occur. Thank you!!
