Size 26.0 cm Outsole 29.5 cm x 10.5 cm Weight: 860g (per shoe) Made in 2002 Made by Regal Corporation In the past, brown canned leather care oil (emulsion cream) was issued to the barracks, and individuals purchased their own brown canned KIWI (oil-based cream). Unused old half boots have very stiff leather. If possible, wear thick socks, apply emulsion cream (leather care oil or mink oil) to the shoes, and gradually break them in, starting with short distances. They will gradually soften and conform to your feet. If you push yourself from the beginning, you will have blisters and chafing. Brown leather care oil or mink oil (emulsion cream) is best for overall shoe care. Brown oil-based cream is suitable for repairing scratches on the toes and heels (it can be polished to shine). Applying oil-based cream to areas other than the toes can cause cracking. To prevent substitution, No cancellations No claims No returns Please. Pets present, no smoking. Thank you.
