Men's Vintage BALLY Foligno All-Weather Jodhpur Boot Black Leather Size 8 1/2 US

Description: Men's Vintage BALLY Foligno All-Weather Jodhpur Boot Black Leather Size 8 1/2 US (7 1/2 EU) Very gently and infrequently worn - basically these were worn just enough to break them in and that's about it. See pics - incredible condition for their age. 100% authentic - I bought these from the Bally boutique on Madison Ave in NYC circa 2000 for a party, but they are a US 8 1/2 and I am a 9. I thought maybe they would stretch out after a few wears but that did not happen and so on the shelf they went. Includes the original Bally travel bags but no original box or paperwork. Today I see some German webstore selling a pair of these in size 12 for 780 Euros, so I guess that must mean something. Here's the description they use: "This magnificent boot, when it was still available in the half-dozen Bally boutiques, world wide, sold for over Euro 1200. The last pair now available is in Japan, marked up to Euro 1800 (US$ 2040), no doubt for its rarity. Ordinary Bally shoes now hover around Euro 700. It appears that this brand, very well thought of in Europe and America during most of the 20th century, is making a comeback with some superlative products. This particular boot is distinguished by a more than usually high vamp or shaft, not only a handsome feature but a practical one, preventing the trouser leg from climbing the boot as you walk. Moreover the proprietary rubber inset in the sole and rubber heel make this a truly all-weather boot and a very comfortable one too. Of course, with such an elegant dress boot, you would hardly choose it for heavy weather but if caught in the rain, you would return home high and dry. Indeed, this is a boot for dress occasions, equally handsome under suit trousers or jeans. The plain front shows as a dress shoe until you sit down and your trouser leg rising reveals that you are in boots!" Located in the U.S. / Ships from the U.S. Only ships to U.S. address. No returns.
