1950s • Kirkendall • Brown Suede Inlay Westerns • Men’s 11 D
Why We Love Them
Out of the Kirkendall lineage—one of the great family names of American bootmaking—comes this handsome mid-century pair. Brown suede shafts play canvas to swooping green and gold inlays, a bold design language that only the 1950s could have dreamed up. These boots carry the grit of decades, with a patina that speaks of dancehalls, long rides, and stories etched deep into their leather. True Americana with a lived-in soul.
