Here's a very special and coveted pair of American-made Danner Cabelas ELK Hunter boots in size 9.5. Very true to size as I am a 10 and they are not quite right for me. I wish they were!

Great shape! We intentionally left the leather alone in case you want to treat them in a specific way for performance or asthetics. They are full-grain cowhide and are surprisngly soft to the touch.  These have the Nubuck finish.

The soles show very little wear, but...

PLEASE NOTE:  There are two nubs missing from the heel of the right boot. Please look at the photos. Does not affect performance. SEE THE 4th PIC
