Vintage Manfield & Sons Tall Leather Riding Boots - Made in England Size‎ US 9.5

A rare find for the collector or vintage enthusiast. These tall dress riding boots were crafted by the historic Manfield & Sons of Northampton, England. Featuring the London - Paris - Brussels interior stamp, these boots represent a golden era of British shoemaking when Manfield was a leading international name in quality footwear.  • Brand: Manfield & Sons (Northampton, England). • Material: Premium black calfskin leather. • Build: Traditional Goodyear welted leather soles with pegged heels. • Internal Markings: Stamped 9598 21C. • Features: Original interior canvas pull straps are intact and functional. Measurements (Crucial for Fit) These boots feature a traditional narrow British C fit. Please compare these measurements to a pair of boots you currently own: • Outsole Length: 11”. • Outsole Width: 3-3/8” (Narrow). • Approximate Modern Size: US Men's 8 (Narrow) / US Women's 9.5 (Narrow/Standard).  These are vintage boots with a beautiful patina, showing honest signs of age: • Lining: There is visible separation (delamination) between the inner lining leather and the outer shaft leather, primarily at the top and along the rear. The leather remains supple, but the original adhesive has dried over time. • Uppers: Showing surface blooming (natural wax rise) and scuffs at the toes. A light conditioning will enhance the finish significantly. • Soles: Original leather soles and heels show wear consistent with age but remain structurally solid.
