Product Description **The REAL McCOY'S** boots. Made by McCOY'S, known for their high quality. These boots, with their heavy leather and careful construction, become even more stylish the more you wear them. ■ Size • Marked: US 8 1/2 E (8.5E) • Size feeling: I think it's just right for those who usually wear around 26.0cm to 26.5cm. (My personal opinion) ■ Condition I wore them with care, but they are used (USED) and have the following conditions. • Upper: There are scuffs and small scratches on the toes and sides (see photos). The leather itself is solid, and it will still look beautiful with oil maintenance, etc. • Sole: There is some wear on the heels, but there is still plenty of tread left, and you can wear them for a long time. ■ Other If you understand the aging of used goods and leather products, please consider them. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. * Please forgive any minor oversights due to amateur inspection. Additional Information 1. About the model: **"RAINMAN"** series. • Sole specifications: You can see the **"CAT'S PAW" separate sole** (combination of half sole and heel), which is standard for Rainman, especially the paratrooper model. • Difference from Bear Head: Bear Head mainly uses thick one-piece soles (crepe soles, etc.), but this faithfully reproduces the classic and dressy style of military boots with exposed leather on the arch of the foot. 2. About the material (whether it is horsehide) In conclusion, based on the photos, it is highly likely to be **"horsehide"**. • Appearance of scratches: The cross-section of the scratches seen in the 10th image shows the peeling characteristic of horsehide, where the fibers are tightly packed. • Exposure of brown core: The aging (aging) where the black paint on the surface is scraped off and the underlying brown color is clearly visible is a characteristic of horsehide, which McCOY'S excels at. Supplementary Notes Since the purchase date was a long time ago and there are no detailed records from that time, this is only my own judgment based on the images and product specifications. I have not had it inspected by an appraisal agency, so please consider this when making your decision.
