Beautiful boots! Keep em coming
Now that I look more closely, is that a cowboy boot-like decorative stitching i see? Also, if they're not new, do you know how old these are?
I have no idea how old they are, but they are in really good shape. Yep, they do have decorative stitching like on a cowboy boot.
There are a few similar on eBay at the moment: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1753582696...lWrPs7KTaa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

They look like packer boots at one time aimed at riding into the backcountry and getting off your horse to walk maybe hunting, fishing, or exploring off your horse.I have no idea how old they are, but they are in really good shape. Yep, they do have decorative stitching like on a cowboy boot.

I order a pair of packers from Whites without the toe bug through it was an option. I was surprised my boots came without kites although I would have used the kites

I'm not sure how effective the "kiltie" is as a dust protector but i think they add a nice detail. I have a pair of White's Hathorn and TL packers that came with kilties I've left attached. I like the look.I've never had a pair of boots with those tongue-protectors. It's something I'd like to try sometime, though I think I'd prefer something more subtle than a lot of them seem to be. Even if I didn't use them, though, it seems a nice detail, nice extra layer of effort for the manufacturer to go to.
I have all sorts of boots and kicks, but the Zamberlan Tofane is probably the most versatile boots I have owned. Living in Alaska it is literally an ice desert for 6-7 months of the year, so boots have to be rugged, well treaded and warm... mostly warm. Solid handmade construction, well insulated, full leather upper with a Norwegian welt. This last pair has lasted just shy of a decade now... they are retired now as my fishing wader boots. I have taken these everywhere; up mountain sides, hunting, motorcycle riding, and yes.... even wearing a nice shearling out to a show with the missus. I usually short/ankle lace 'em for easy in and out general use and then tie 'em up proper when the work needs gettin' done. Looking forward to wearing out this next pair.
