It's interesting to observe what folks consider a deal. These were up for $299.99 BIN or best offer yet they went unsold for a couple of days while other completely misrepresented vintage boots of lesser quality and characteristics sell for eight ... nine bills.
With relatively minor flaws, these were the PERFECT candidates for a trip to Role Club headquarters -- flat toe box, "toe tracks," perfectly-aged oil-tanned Cowhide (minor surface cracking) and an ideal overall profile. Brian could easily replace the missing gussets, darn the left backstay and add a new set of Bridgestones. I would have gladly paid the three bills for these and been very content ... until the next good deal came along.
