I just thrifted them, so I don’t know how old they are - but Carolina still makes this model, so probably not more than a few yearsv old. The heels are VERY worn, so I’ll have my cobbler fix that.

But the uppers are incredibly nice. The leather was pretty dry, so I oiled them a bit, and they softened up quite nicely. They’re pretty comfy.

I’ll likely keep them as general-purpose boots - friends moving, general outdoor work, etc. - and then wear them just when I feel like wearing a pair of boots.
