Not a bad price on these vintage shorties.  This style is often imitated, but nothing beats a nice pair of originals.  I've always liked how the heel counter overhangs the heels on some Vintage Engineer Boots.  This usually occurs when the boots are too small for the individual.  Sometimes, though, the boots are manufactured in this manner.  Either way, it's a classic look.

I'd have been happy to bring 'em home for this price.
