I bought these years ago, because I wanted a lot of ankle support. I didn't need anywhere need this much support. I also didn't need anything nearly this heavy duty. They are size 12. Long ago I removed the semi-custom insoles for use in some other boots, but the boots themselves are in incredible shape. No scuffs in the full grain leather at all. New, they were close to $300 at REI. I think that they were $279, and the insoles put it over $300. I'm thinking that $125 shipped conus would be a good deal. ps. The pic of the sole is just dirt. I promise.
