DescriptionBrown leather "cowboy" boots, with lighter brown trim covering the side seams and edging the top. The toes are squared-off points, and the back of the heel is slanted. The sides and top band of the boots are stamped with designs imitating western boot stitching. The vamp is cut with a decorative point extending up the front of the ankle. The boot tops are lined with soft white leather. Blue and white striped cotton tape is stitched inside the boot top at the side seams for boot straps. The proportions of these boots is not typical of the traditional western cowboy boot; these boot legs are shorter. The welted soles are shaped for the right and left foot; the waist of the sole is pegged, and the top piece of the heel is tacked.
