These boots are two of the most delicious and mysterious Savers buys yet. The outer is a wool kilim -- we have one from Turkey in almost the same pattern and colors. Inside, collar, eyelets and edging are all very soft leather, and the sole bears the name Conti, which is the only marking on the whole boot. Conti is a European maker of tires (tyres) and shoe soles. See the edge all hand stitched? They're barely used but I can take care of that. Except of course, these beauties will never see slush and snow. I'm nurturing a suspicion that they're handmade Italian gems and will be only marginally interested in any contradictions of this theory. Unless someone can provide well-supported documentation to the contrary. Anyone? Has anyone even seen footwear of this nature?

If you wore these, then stood on the rug in your room, you'd look like a double amputee!
