The anteater is finished in a warm medium brown and paired with dark brown leather shafts featuring traditional contrasting Western stitching. The broad EE width, classic toe profile, and substantial vintage construction give these an especially strong presence. Most importantly, the anteater remains remarkably attractive and well preserved, making this an excellent example of a scarce vintage exotic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy We Love Them\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe anteater is the centerpiece here. Each vamp displays large, deeply defined scales with excellent natural variation, and the leather extends around the counters for a substantial use of the exotic hide. The brown-on-brown combination is understated enough to let the texture of the anteater do the work, while the elaborate shaft stitching gives the boots plenty of traditional Western character. Genuine vintage anteater boots are increasingly difficult to find, particularly in this condition and in a desirable EE width.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpec Card\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaker:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Pecos Bill\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEra:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Vintage \/ Pre-Ban\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Men’s 8.5 EE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Genuine pre-ban anteater with leather shafts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColor:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Brown \/ Dark Brown\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToe:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Traditional Western toe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeel:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Cowboy heel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShafts:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Dark brown leather with contrasting decorative Western stitching\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOutsole:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Rubber-covered sole\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWidth:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e EE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGreat vintage condition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The anteater leather presents exceptionally well for its age, retaining strong scale definition and an attractive, even finish.
