Now here's a perdy pair of boots!  The profile screams original and super vintage.  I'm a fan of Woodsman heels and they definitely add flavor to these scarce boots. 

Shrinkage on leather heels and midsoles are very typical of Vintage Engineer Boots; thereby, causing rubber heel and sole caps to appear oversized.  No problem...just a few minutes of grinding from a reputable cobbler is all you need for these boots.  Otherwise, these are ready to go.

I totally expected these to sell for well over a grand...you just never know.  The winner should be jumping for joy at this price.
