Vintage riding boots by Service Riding Apparel Ltd

Riding boot style "The Grand Prix" by Service Riding Apparel Ltd. out of Yonkers, NY. These boots are used, and apparently by an actual rider since there were bits of hay inside the boot. I've been able to determine this style was manufactured in the '80s. There is discoloration wear on the inside left calf, probably from riding. The leather is still intact, but it's not as rich black as the rest of the boot. This same discoloration is also present on the right back calf edge. All wear is detailed in photos. The leather is a bit stiff but shows no signs of cracking/splitting. A good saddle soaping or leather oil/lotion would soften these up. Insides are very clean, but new insoles will be needed. Laces are in good condition. Boots are fairly clean with only the expected smell of leather. These would be great as fall attire with mini or maxi skirts, or even used as decor for equestrian aficionados. Marked as "7W" but these fit more like a regular-to-narrow. Toe-to-heel measures 10-3/4" Widest point at the ball of foot measures 3-9/16" Shaft height from the sole is 19" (inner is 17-3/8")
