This pair bears the rare green O'Sullivan half soles and heels from the 1940's/1950's Zip ran across. Note the custom trademark Zip Stevenson double copper rivets. The heel core is made from stacked leather and the heel cap is washer type. The heel rand is also made from leather.
Thanks Joe!!

As you can see Zips boots are customizable. If there's something not listed that you'd like to have added, he is more than willing to assist. Oh...and don't forget the stud and jewel option.
Notice the attention to detail used in the upper vamp with the HTC trademark on the vamp and stitching on the upper straps.
Give Zip a call to get your hands on a pair.
