These Carolina boots have been sitting in a closet. They were worn maybe one time. 600 g of insulation and waterproof. The trim at the top of the boot seems to be flaking a bit just because they’re old but it’s a very small area. The leather is supple and not cracking, and there is absolutely nowhere on the soles of these boots. If you’re not happy you can return them. Here’s a great chance to get $200 boots for a deal. I have lots more boots and other great items check it out. I combine shipping, trusted seller!
