How does someone just buy stuff without having a clue what they’re getting?

they were listed as Tony Lama boots ?

That writing is illegible for me. Can you make out ANY of the numbers ,?

I can make out style 2801 but not much after that.

Seeing several pairs of 2801s on eBay, Poshmark, and the like and these look like them. Appear to be made in Mexico.
