ELKLAND COWBOY BOOTS Children's 1 1/2 Snakeskin, Black!

ELKLAND COWBOY BOOTS Children's 1 1/2 Snakeskin, Black! - eBay (item 310014280785 end time Jan-18-08 18:41:44 PST)

This pair of Elkland brand gray snakeskin and black cowboy boots are children's 1 1/2. They look like they're leather uppers and manmade materials in sole. This size fits feet 8 1/16" long and 3 1/4" wide, according to the shoe size chart at Payless.

The foot part is gray snakeskin as are the tabs at the top. The legs are black with red and white embroidery stitching. The boots heel height is 1 3/4" at the back. They measure 10 1/2" in total height, with 9" from the sole to the boot top. The boot top measures 5 3/4" across.

These boots are in excellent condition with clean insides, soles with no wear and slight wear on the heels at the back. There are minor scuffs on the sides of the heels. They were worn just long enough to rub off some gilt lettering inside so they're a challenge to read.
