Title: Pakistani Boots on e-Bay
Post by: Niederlander on February 02, 2023, 05:28:10 PM: Gentlemen, I'm not wanting to buy them, but has anyone on here bought and used the Pakistani cavalry boots for sale on e-Bay? I would assume the leather is "tanned" using camel pi$$ or something similar. Just curious.

Fit was a little different than expected, seem to be well made though.

I still haven't found good insoles for them.

I found some on ebay size 5-15 put in cart could not find a way to specify size, not willing to risk adding payment info to get shipped a random size or just trust once order is placed seller will contact and ask size info

Years ago Horse Fly had his boots made by a Pakistani boot maker. I am still wearing mine after 25 years. His Boots were the Buffalo Runner brand. I think the boot maker was a refugee here rather than being made over there.

Looking at the construction, I would say the Missouri Boot & Shoe Co we talk about on here some is the better deal.
