Purchased new & imported from the manufacturer in Spain. Had custom (lighter weight) rubber soles put on by a local leather goods cobbler in San Francisco, California. A fraction of the cost of name brand Penelope Chilvers worn by HRH The Princess of Wales! I read that Valverde manufactures PC boots and can confirm the quality is almost identical. Incredible leather & hardware. Selling because I never wear them. My American shoe size is US women’s 9.5
