This is a pair of Franco Fortini Winchester black leather riding-style boots in size 8.5 Medium. The calf leather is soft, not the stiffer type of boot upper, but they stay up when worn. They are in good condition. The width of the calf part is 15". They are very comfortable and look great with sweater dresses, skirts, and tucked-in jeans/pants. The height of the upper is 17", plus a 1.7" heel.
