I got these about two years ago and have worn them maybe a dozen times since. I hate to see them just sitting in the closet, so here they are. They are genuine Louisiana alligator skins and were built by Black Jack in Texas. I know these are Louisiana skins becuase I picked them out myself at a local farm. They are in excellent condition. The only real flaw is one of the pull tabs tore the first time I was putting them on. They were quite tight initially. I had it repaired at a local shoe repair store. The size is 9.5E and they are true to size. I orginally paid over $600.00 for them, but will sell for $225.00 shipped within the conus. Paypal is preferred. PM me here if interested. Here are a few pics:
