These are high-quality, well-maintained boots; regularly treated, cleaned, and conditioned for water resistance. Single owner, great condition with some wear. Goodyear welted with original soles. Rare, first-run 7-hole Blacksmith design. They do not make this style anymore. They will only look better with age and should last a lifetime. As you can see from the photos: color is more slate-grey than pure black but that wasn't an option.
