Ron Rider is a great fellow, and he has his shoe and boot lines constructed in Italy at a variety of well established "family" factories.

They're in his sale section, and going for $99 at deep discount.

Just an FYI!

Those look great! Are they sized like regular shoes, or military boots? I want to order a pair, but don't want to get the wrong size.

I got a pair of these a while ago. The throat of the boot was very tight and I almost couldn't wear them. The pull strap on one ripped out with very little force as well. Once on they fit good in the foot but are pretty slim in the calves. The sizing would be similar to most work boots (Red Wing, Wolverine) and a bit larger than dress shoe size. Here are some photos of how mine looked in person.

nice, but I prefer higher heel or thicker sole on my boots, since I'm 175cm

According to their site - "Fairly round toed last, a little short from ball-toe, fits TTS, very popular last for the factory" I have a pair of his shell cordovan balmoral boots in the same last and they fit "modern" true to size.

Good info here; thank you! I ordered a pair for myself and I'm hopeful that they'll work well for me up here.
