Industrial strength, steel toe / steel shank, Vibram lug sole, full grain leather boots. 15 eyelet, 16.5 inches tall - these boots are both protective and a serious biker / steampunk look. See the pictures for scuffs on the toe and other wear. They are well loved, but with years and years of use left. Sadly, they no longer fit me! They literally don't make them like this anymore.
