Here's a pair of classic leather engineer boots, as used by bikers since there were bikers and engineer boots! Think 'The Wild Ones' with Brando and Lee Marvin.

These are Made in the U.S.A. by Carolina and are marked Size 12 (measurements below). They are NOT steel toes. Soles are oil-resistant neoprene.

They show very little wear, with only a few light scratches and scuffs. There is one small (size of a matchhead) triangular snag on the right one. It's NOT a hole, just the finish of the leather pulled away from the flesh. A spot of glue and it's good as new. The leather is exactly as stiff-but-flexible as it should be. The outsoles measure 13" long and 4-1/2" across the ball of the foot. My estimate of the size of the INSIDE of the boot is about 11-1/2" long and just under 4" across the ball. Remember, your foot must be LESS than those measurements, particularly the length, where you want your big toe to be about 1/2" from the end.

The total heel height is 1-1/2". The uppers are 10" high on the inside and 11" on the outside from the heel seat inside the boot. Front-to-back inside the top with the sides together is 6-1/2" with the strap in the smallest hole and 7" with the strap released, so a calf size of 13" to 14" should be well-accomodated. PLEASE, just be reasonably sure they're going to fit before bidding - I've given you all the info you could possibly need to tell, and I can't afford to take a return for fit! Email with any further questions.

Your item will be shipped same/next business day after payment, depending on what time you pay. The exception to this is PayPal e-check payment, which can take up to a week to clear. PayPal says not to ship until the e-check clears, so don't use an e-check if you want fast shipping!.

EBay allows sellers to charge a reasonable handling fee to cover the cost of materials and labor needed to prepare sold items for shipping. Until late 2008, I never charged a handling fee, preferring to save my customers money by providing the packaging time and materials at no charge out of my profits.

Since that time, changes in EBay policies (fee hikes, mandatory PayPal and now fees on shipping cost) have made it significantly more expensive to sell here, reducing those profits. Due to those reduced profits, I can no longer afford to provide all the packaging supplies and labor for free. So I'm reluctantly charging a handling fee.

Handling fee will be $1 to $3, depending on the amount of time and materials needed to package the item. The majority of U.S-bound items will be $1; only larger and/or heavier items will be more. The handling fee will be included in the shipping cost shown in the calculator. If the actual postage + the applicable handling charge turns out to be less than what was shown in the calculator (It's wrong way too often.), the overage will be refunded to you. I always combine shipping - actual postage + ONE handling fee.

To my international bidders: I've found that trying to follow PayPal's (so-called) Seller Protection Policy on international transactions only succeeds in making me crazy and causing my customers inconvenience and extra expense. No matter what you do, there is no REAL seller protection with PayPal, especially on international payments. So I'm just going to not worry about problems until one occurs. USPS International 1st Class will be an option on any item that fits under the weight/size limits for that method.
