Thrifted these and went to a western store and they said with 99% certainty that it was real snakeskin and genuine leather. 25 1/2 size i believe is to be used by vaquero boots and these look to me like their los altos python boots. size equivalent to a women’s 8.5. used condition but have lots of life left! they retail for around $350+. Let me know if you have any questions.
