NOTE: I do not sell "Corcoran" boots. There are no "Corcoran" boots. That company was bought several years ago by Cove Boot, giving them the right to use the name. My boots are made in Mexico (yes, the "South of the Border Crap" my competition warns you about), by S.M. Wholesale, who supplied all the footwear for Band of Brothers. They copy all the details of the original boots, and feature all the original markings and exact replica U.S. Army soles. Why do I claim my boots are the best?
1. I really, really have them.
2. I have never had a pair of boots returned except for size exchanges.
3. My customers tell me so. Many of them have purchased more than one pair.
BOOT SIZES ARE ACCURATE! THEY DO NOT RUN BIG! THEY DO NOT RUN SMALL! BOOT SIZES ARE ACCURATE!

Patton Style Riding Boots. I have received a small trial production run of these officer pattern boots worn by many US and British officers. Sizes are limited to 10, 11, 12, medium width, with a medium diameter leg shaft. The shaft is very tall, and these are not recommended for anyone under 6' in height. These cannot be confused with $800 Dehners in quality, but they look good and seem reasonably sturdy. Very limited quantity. $225 OUT OF STOCK
