These boots are and were my absolute favorites!!!  I purchased them in a small shop in Toronto, Ontario, sometime in the late 80's.  If I  remember correctly, they were retired from the Canadian Mounted Police, I think...  These boots were worn for many nights of "slam dancing" in the 80's!!!  They have not been polished as they are perfect the way they are, in my opinion.  The new owner can clean them up if they desire. 

They are size 6E (wide) men's, which is a little bigger than an 8 in women's and are steel toe.  I wore a 9 in those days, and I remember they were pretty snug.  To be safe, I would go by whatever is listed as a women's size based on boots being a 6E men's.  Well, that's it...  Thanks for looking!!!
