Men’s Rios of Mercedes Tan Hippo with 13″ Garganey Kidskin Tops – Style 113

HIPPOPOTAMUSHippo leather is somewhat of a novelty in that it was not commonly seen until a few years ago. In its original state this leather is very thick and heavily scarred. The outmost grain is removed by sanding until some of the scars are removed. The bottom layer is split off to leave the top grain to be used in boots. Hippo wears very well under hard use but needs to be occasionally cleaned and conditioned to maximize wear. A brass bristle brush is ideal to remove loose dirt and dust from its suede like finish.??ATTENTION: Due to the natural characteristics of the leather, each pair will feature distinct color tones and unique skin grain patterns.?Vamp: Tan Hippo?Top: Garganey Kidskin (Goat)?Toe: Cutter Narrow Square?Removable FootbedSingle Welt Sole Stitch?Sole: Leather Hybrid?-These boots are also made with a leather and rubber?hybrid sole that offers more?flexibility, durability and grip with each step.?Heel: 1 1/2″ Longbase Leather Stacked?Full Leather Lined?Hand Made In Mercedes, Texas
