Do you know which model they are so I can be specific? He's not really into fashion (gift from a gf) and i don't know much about Billy Reid's stuff.

I've found these (cant tell if they're the same) that look very similar to what I've posted.

Billy Reid (deceptively) calls the color of the shoes 'Cordovan', but you can tell they're not made from shell cordovan because of the creasing - shell doesn't crease, it curls.

Your link is dead but I'm pretty sure these are the moto boot. They used to be available in dark brown (cordovan). Like Teger says they are not shell cordovan. They are nice boots, I was looking at them a while ago and would be interested if they were 11.5.
