Damn! Those is some nice boots.

Most peeps don't realize those are easily resoled. They will last you a decade.

Wrong size for me, but someone is getting a deal.

 

@koditten by any chance do you know if the boot doesn't fit you. Can you resize them if there exotic leather I got some cayman an shark an they dont fit any more.

 

Sorry, I don't know the answer.

 

Pass the word along! Paid a good amount for them and know they’re nice boots and still in great shape, I’m not a boot guy but needed them for some past occasions. So my loss your(their) gain!

 

Exotic leathers are less prone to stretching than traditional leathers like horse and steer hide- cayman specifically has a hard time stretching. By saying they "don't fit anymore" I can't imagine your foot shrank so trying to go up in size will be next to impossible without adding leather. A good cobbler can resize them to go down in size but is usually means breaking the boot down and rebuilding it over a new last. The cost involved usually isn't worth it to most people since you can buy a new pair for about the same or even less than what you're paying for that level of craftsmanship. I have no experience with shark leather, but you can try some boot stretcher- it's a liquid you apply to the inside of the boot liberally and then wear them with thick socks. The stretching liquid acts like a conditioner and moisturizes the leather from the inside and your movement will speed up the stretching process that naturally occurs over time.


GLWS OP, I have some Luccese boots that I have similarly (wore only a few times and then never again) and I tried selling here as well.

 

Thanks for the input @GHOST SHIP really appriciate it! Well I guess I got to start selling mine as well... btw what conditioner would you recomend if you know of one, and can the conditioner be used for the cayman as well or just shark an steer type of leather?

Thanks in advance!

I haven’t used any other conditioners because I haven’t needed to. I have a wide assortment of leather creams, cleaners, conditioners and polishes that would probably be best discussed in its own thread not to clog up OPs sale thread. One thing I will say is that if the leather is sealed, then the conditioner won’t penetrate and moisturize as well but will still act as a mild cleaner. My caymans don’t take conditioner very well but they’re sealed and have a sheen. OPs boots on the other hand look like an occasional conditioning will keep the leather soft and supple.

 

Post the luccese’s up. I love mine

 

I never got even a nibble on mine.
