Ostrich is the softest and most comfortable of the “exotic” leathers. It wears well and resists scratching and scuffing – a combination of softness and toughness. Ostrich is naturally resistant to barnyard acid. The quill pattern determines the price of genuine ostrich boots. Where you get a full quill pattern all over the foot, you are buying a much more expensive boot. The size of quill bumps depends on the age of animal and the portion of the hide from which the leather is cut. Ostrich is that ideal combination of durability and wearability which makes it the perfect leather for boots. Always wipe the dust and dirt off ostrich boots after wearing.  Vamp: Black Full Quill Ostrich Top: 13” Brown Waxy Calf  Toe: Milan (Wide Square)  Removable Footbed  DWS (Double Welt Sole Stitch)  Sole: Leather - These soles have a heavy 9-iron full leather sole. Our sole leather is veg-tanned with premium bull hides.   Heel: 1 1/8” Long Roper Leather Stacked  Full Leather Lining  Handmade in Mercedes, Texas
