This boot is as tough as they get being made from bull leather rather than from the hide of a cow. It is a fine example of attention to quality of construction, with riders in mind. It has one-piece leather uppers and a unique combination of elastic sides with leather flaps that buckle at the back to protect your ankle bones. It also has a reinforced toe and a gel inner sole. It is probably the toughest good looking boot that we have ever seen.
