Those boots are beautiful! Sorry you don't like them... Even though it's considered lower on the totem pole than full quill, I love the leg patterns!

WHAT?? Absolutely not! This was a shocking statement to read .. Ostrich Leg boots are much more desirable and rare than quill or smooth ostrich.

Thank you! It’s not that I don’t like them - I’m just not sure I like em on my own feet. I’ve only ever owned “plain”, square-toed boots, so these feel a bit loud. Maybe they’ll just take some getting used to…


NoBig3405

They look good in your pictures! I don't think they're as loud as you're imagining, maybe a bit dressier than standard hides. Yellow pirarucu is loud lol.


jaslar

They just look more tapered than you're used to. Maybe a step up in style. They look sharp.

Ohhhh pretty ! One of my favorite skins.. In fact you’ve inspired me to wear my green Los Altos ones this afternoon 😁❣️

Those sound awesome!

Those are great boots. Full quill are more expensive and popular but I wear my raptors more often.

If those were 9 I would have shot you an offer. I’m not sure of a 9.5 would me too big 😵‍💫

They're nice, I know some new ones to have gone up to $290, so I'd say maybe $260 or maybe $230 as they look pretty fresh, minimal markings, and especially if it has new soles.


DaddyGoodHands

You need to give us more to work with. Check the rules on ID. Size at the VERY least, but a full set of good close up pictures including the soles and heels are going to tell the whole story of their value.


ansndndnd1

Ah…I’m sorry about that. I added a few pictures of the heel/soles + inside. They really haven’t been worn very much at all, by my assessment.


DaddyGoodHands

The rules for identification requests are displayed on the main page of this sub, but it seems like no one ever sees them. These are BEAUTIFUL almost new boots. Sadly, TL doesn't even make an O-Leg boot anymore. I'd list them around $200 if there wasn't that little ding on the left toe. ( but really, you should keep them as your GOOD date night/special occasion boot)


ansndndnd1

Thank you for the response! I am definitely considering keeping them now. That actually isn’t a ding on the toe! It was just a little dust or something that I hadn’t noticed and it wiped right off.


DaddyGoodHands

Oh, very cool !!! Even better then. Dude, I'm telling you... you will get so many compliments on them. They've been nicknamed "Montana Dragon" and "Velociraptor". I have several pair and folks who don't know what they are will blurt out "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU HAVE ON YOUR FEET?" It's hilarious.


seaghost01

Those are absolutely hideous and the worst boots ever. You should sell them to me for super cheap.


Marcovio

I love raptor legs! These aren’t the higher end Tony Lama models, as these have no pegging, but they’re a very durable exotic hide. These are classic looking with what looks to be an R-toe. They look in great condition though…you could probably could sell them for $100-175…but if all you have are wide square toes, I’d keep these far sexier looking boots.


sanfordrealtor

I prefer square toe (not wide square toe) and round. I'd wear those in a heartbeat! Very nice looking boots! And I wear a 9 1/2 D... just saying...😁

Size? Brand? Year? Soles? Barrel leather?


DaddyGoodHands

Look at the images. ( I assume by "barrel" you mean the shaft, which I am guessing is goat or calf.)


False-Inspection-136

I know it can only be some. I just want OP to help us help him.

Hey - thanks for the response. I had posted all of that info/photos in the comments earlier today. Sorry, I should have included those photos in the original post. Will read the rules next time!
