1) what size pedal did pops have?

2) Allens makes some nice boots. Not my style, but they appear to be quality so I can’t knock ‘em.

OOPS ... 11-1/2 D I think.  I need to take some pics.  I think the others were lizard.

I used to love the old Tony Llamas , but moved into Luchesse more for "dress up" until they get beat up a little.  Made me think back to my first pair, probably 1975?spacer.png

I'm old enough to remember when sea turtle was relatively common.  I guess before they were on the endangered list or before trading in hides was verboten.  Cool boots, but knowing what I know now, I guess I'd feel bad about wearing them.  

I'm not sure "private transactions" of boots not made in violation of law, "pre-embargo," is illegal.  But there may be ethical concerns just from wearing them.

I had a pair of elephant in high school, again before anything negative was attached to trading in elephant hides.  Interesting looking hide and extremely tough.  For a while, you couldn't get it.

Now, it's available again and I believe obtained from naturally expired elephants.

Coupla dudes in high school had those.  I kinda thought they were cool at the time, maybe because the guys that wore em were kind of cool.

Had the opportunity to get some and passed.
