I like those a lot. Does the boot’s structure feel much different than you’d expect from, say, some full-grain, less-exotic leather?
The bison leather is pretty soft and flexible. It’s also a little thicker than calfskin. It’s fully lined in calf (although you could ask for an unlined version).
The net result is a boot that has a structure that’s pretty much what you’d expect from a boot made with a standard leather.

I happen to like how these turned out. After I ordered them, I had some doubts about how the combination of heavily textured bison would look with the brogueing. After I received them, I was very pleased. I think it’s a great and unexpected combination.

This is not a standard offering from Rancourt. But if you call them up and ask, they can make it for you.

Santos walking/monkey boots arrived.

Tried on for fit. Think these would look amazing as a monkey boot sans hooks. Going to have a wander later to try out.

Norwegian welted and a commando type sole so pretty great winter boot.
