My brother bought 2 pairs of these boots to try on and never returned them - they're brand new with tags + box. There's a little scratch on the 10.5's as seen in the close up pic - the size 11's are completely pristine. • Handcrafted in the USA • Upper made from premium leather from Horween Leather Company in Chicago, Illinois • Classic leather outsole with a Vibram® heel from Williamsport, Pennsylvania • Flat waxed cotton laces from Landrum, South Carolina
