Boots:

Justin Western Boots, 8.5B (Men’s 7), #1122, Brand New $89.00 + shipping

These boots wear like iron and are my favorite western work boot, Justin #1122. They are made in the USA of what they call Mulehide but is actually a thick steer hide.

This pair is brand new and a size and half too small for me, though, and my daughter doesn’t want them, so they are being sold.

I’m on my second pair, my first pair having been bought in the 70’s. Yeah, like last century’s 70’s. They are rugged and outlast any other good working boot I’ve ever owned.

The Hypalon soles wear forever and are great for general purpose work boots. These are what I wear for all my desert trekking, cross-country driving, and all around camp boot.

Of course, like most well-made things I like, they quit making these a few years ago, opting for thinner leather and lesser sole. If anyone finds a pair of Justin #1122 in 8.5D, new or decently used, I’ll pay a finders fee if I end up getting them. I’m serious. I like these boots that much.

These boot images were taken 2019, Dec 16. You can see they are brand new and have never been worn. The right boot does have some spotted discoloration that, frankly, doesn’t bother me. I usually oil mine anyway with Neatsfoot Oil or Huberd’s Shoe Grease.

These boots sold new from $162.99 to more than two hundred. I’m selling this brand new pair for $89.00 OBO, plus shipping. All sales final.

Justin Western Work Boots #1122: $89.00 OBO, plus shipping. All sales final.
