A classy boot for a classy man. Black Jack Boot Company uses the best exotic and smooth leathers for their vamps and heel foxing. The soles are made with a durable 10-iron outsole 4-iron welt and 9-iron insole. They use a 5'-16 gauge ribbed steal shank covered with the best side-bend leather available for extended wear and unbeatable comfort. Black Jack is one of the very few brands that secures the shank down with 60 lemon wood pegs rather than brass pegs. The lemon wedge pegs not only offer more comfort but don't rust or wear like brass. Black Jack only uses solid leather stacked heels for added durability. These Black Caiman Belly Westerns will not only compliment a suit or dress up a pair of old jeans but they will turn heads wherever you go! The fancy stitch design & pull strap overlays are a wonderful touch to this ultra classy boot! Black Jacks are handmade in the U.S.A. by dedicated boot makers.
