Black ostrich vamp with the quill follicles still standing proud across the toe and heel counter — the real thing, not a stamped imitation. The shaft climbs in deep two-tone fancy stitch, smoke-grey thread laid over black leather in that flame-and-scroll pattern Tony Lama built its name on out of El Paso. These have been walked, the soles tell you that, but the ostrich has only gotten richer for it. The kind of boot a man kept for the good occasions and the long ones both.
