These Montana Boots are a rare find, featuring an exotic pre-ban design of dark chocolate sea turtle on a Western-style boot. Handmade in or around 1977, these limited edition boots are crafted with leather and offer comfort and quality. With a unique J toe shape and pull-on closure, these mid-calf boots are perfect for various occasions, from casual outings to formal events, making them a standout addition to any wardrobe. The dark chocolate color and pre-ban sea turtle pattern add a touch of Southwestern flair to these stylish and collectible boots. The Padilla family in Leon, Mexico has produced some of the best boots in the country since 1932 and these are no exception. You can't get this hide new anymore (legally) so when these show up for sale, I pounce on them! These are super rare because of the large 12-D size. There has been some repair work done on these and when you are talking about a pair of boots that are about 50+ years old, it is very common. The work was professionally done and is not very noticeable even close up. Shipping is available at an extra cost. 1084-90000
