These cowboy boots are blue/black colored Genine Shark leather vamp and cowhide upper. leather sole, borad square toe, and roper heel. Shark skin is also naturally waterproof. I only worn a dozen or so times in 1.5 years. I need a wide boot, and these are not. I love the style and flare, but I can't be in them for long. perfect for someone who likes the style. soles are good condition. all my boots are conditioned monthly. there are a couple of spots where the blue is scuffed off. I included pictures.
