These are calfskin western boots from Tony Lama's top-of-the-line Signature Series. I believe the quality and comfort are comparable to the higher-end models of Lucchese. Originally brown, I dyed them black. I repeated the dyeing and wiping process several times, then finished with a delicate cream. The dye has penetrated deep into the leather, so there's some bleeding in places. I used American-made Lincoln dye. I've dyed dozens of pairs of shoes as a hobby, and this time, the result is so clean that it's indistinguishable from the original. I liked the shape and comfort of these boots, but I didn't like the color, so I bought them with the intention of dyeing them from the start. They've now transformed into my dream boots, but I injured my back and can no longer wear high-heeled boots. For those who fit the size and like them, how about it? These are wonderful boots that I highly recommend. This model was discontinued a few years ago, but even then, the retail price was around $500, so if they were released in Japan now, they might cost around 150,000 yen. The size is US 11D, which is consistent with Red Wing and Alden. I've worn them 2-3 times, just for a test walk. Please take a look at the images and consider them. Thank you for looking.
