    Hey all,

     I have forgotten where these old boots  came from.  

    Thinking Spanish, or Portuguese.... Suspect 

    Anyone have any ideas...

    Thanks guys,

    Have had these things so long I have forgotten where they came from..

    Wore these a lot in the 80s, and certainly beat them up quite a bit..

    Wish they'd still fit......
