• The cut of the boot is clean and there are no loose edges.
• There is no visible glue.

• Stand both boots side by side. They look like a pair and the leather is of even color.

• The heels are stacked with leather not thin leather laminate.
• There is a piece of hard leather behind the heel to stiffen the area.
• The inside of the boot feels smooth with no rough edges from the seams or stitching.
• The sole is be made of leather and sewn on. The stitching is buried inside a groove cut into the leather.
• The toe box is hard with no rough edges.
• The edges of the sole and heel are inked and burnished creating a finished polished look.
