Vintage Larry Mahan Western Boots - 12M, Tan. These are vintage hand-made boots from the late 1980s, before Larry Mahan Boots was acquired and then again by Tony Lama boot company. These are no longer made. Elk skin is super soft, like kid glove leather, which makes them a soft-top boot, not rigid. These were my personal boots, and the most comfortable I have ever worn. Professionally resoled a few years ago. Boot height is 14.5 inches
