Vintage Tony Lama • Pre-Ban Cognac Sea Turtle • Men’s 11 D
Vintage Tony Lama cowboy boots featuring genuine pre-ban sea turtle leather in a rich cognac finish, paired with chocolate brown leather shafts.
The sea turtle vamps display large, irregularly shaped scales with natural variations in texture and coloration. Decorative brogue-style overlays and perforated leather detailing extend across the vamps, creating a distinctive two-tone construction.
The tall chocolate brown shafts feature traditional Western stitching in gold and tan, scalloped tops, and reinforced leather pull straps. Additional details include narrow Western toes, stacked leather heels, leather outsoles, and rubber heel caps.
Sea turtle leather was historically used by American Western bootmakers before international conservation measures introduced significant restrictions on its commercial trade. Surviving vintage examples represent a category of exotic Western footwear that is no longer produced for the mainstream American market.

CONDITION
Good vintage condition, rated 7/10. The sea turtle leather displays natural creasing, surface wear, and variations in coloration consistent with age and previous use. The shafts show moderate creasing, while the toes, heel counters, and outsole edges exhibit additional wear.
The leather outsoles show evidence of regular use, and the rubber heel caps remain intact. The boots retain their overall structure and appear to have substantial wearable life remaining.
