I thrifted these Harley Davidson boots and had convinced myself I could cram my foot in them (I'm a size 6, these are 5.5) alas I could not. They are real leather, but the interior zipper placket is not and is flaking as you can see in photos. The interior lining is ripped at the front of both boots and was like that when I thrifted them. The leather, soles, and structure are still in great shape and have a lot of life left in them :) I have two dogs and a cat and clean all items before I ship.
