These Boots caught my attention when being auctioned on eBay. I actually found them to be less expensive than the eBay auction if I bought them on-line. What's cool about these 15" Lace-Up leather Boots is the Boot soles... really big footprint with big lugs. Each space between the 25 lugs on the sole is attached with a Phillips screw. These boots squeak a lot due to cheap Chinese leather... and despite treatments with leather conditioner, the leather is so cheap it sounds like a creaky door in a horror flick.
