I really don’t want to give these up, but they have always been 1/2 size too small and my feet grew since having a kid so I can’t even pretend to make them work now. These boots are incredible. The leather is thick and scuffs just add character but don’t do any actual harm (see photos). I just cleaned them with saddle soap and leather conditioner so they are ready to rumble. The rubber soles are indestructible. These things will probably last a million years. 8.75” sole to top of shaft 1.75” heel
