These are still new. You can't get these so cheap! No one?

Retails for $395

Asking $225 > $200 > $175 > $150

Basically brand new, worn twice. Virtually no sole wear. Comes with the box, etc.

Fits true to size for a US 9.5D.


Info
The Roccia Vet is a style originally found in the Diemme hunting collection, that has been updated with lighter and more comfortable soles for city use. This style has great ankle support and padded inner lining which gives stability and a comfortable and protected walk. It is featured here in a full grain leather from Italian tannery Conceria Emmedue.

The sole being used is a beige middle sole with Vibram Begonia Morflex sheet. The Vibram Morflex provides high flexibility and bounce, but the more rigid middle sole makes this sole a bit stiffer than the Cristy, but still much softer than soles like the Roccia Block. Optimal flexibility versus stiffness is a personal matter, but generally speaking it is recommended to have stiffer soles for longer walks and when carrying heavier loads, but for lighter walks and most city use it would be more comfortable with a flexible sole that bends easily for each step. This sole has excellent slip-resistance on floors, but will be slippery on ice due to its linear pattern and sheet flexibility.

The inner lining is made of cow leather instead of pig leather for increased comfort, and the footbed is of vegetable latex with a leather upper lining. A gusseted leather tongue with vegetable latex padding will keep water from permeating the top of the boot, and the padding creates a soft cushion over the instep.

All components, including hardwear and laces, are italian made. Handmade in Onè di Fonte, Italy.
