1950’s Two-Tone Western Boots — Men’s 9 D

A handsome mid-century pair done in rich chocolate vamps and warm tan shafts, carrying that unmistakable 1950s profile: shorter tops, hand-cut inlays, and a beautifully aged patina.

• Original pulls, double-row top stitching, scalloped collars with contrast binding

Size & Fit

• Tagged: Men’s 9 D

Condition — Grade: Vintage B

Honest wear with strong structure and plenty of life left.

• Vamps show natural creasing but no cracks
• Shafts have light sun fade and beautiful patina
• Collar edges rubbed from age (period-correct)
• Outsoles original with early metal toe and heel caps
• No weaknesses, no soft spots, no separations

Why We Love Them

These boots embody the working-cowboy aesthetic of the 1950s — purposeful, understated, and built to last. The warm-tan shafts over dark vamps form a classic two-tone palette that’s stood the test of time. Every bit of wear tells the story of an era when boots were made to be worn daily, not displayed.

Notes & Care

Lightly conditioned and ready for wear. Store with cedar or paper fill to maintain the shaft shape.
