I know that these VAEL Deckard boots are made for men, but I want them as well! Yes, I’m a girly girl, but after watching ‘Book of Eli,’ I’m craving that rugged/grunge look that everyone rocked.
Featuring a supple leather that is just begging to be worn and worn well, the VAEL Deckard boot also features leather thong laces and a Vibram ‘Fitter’ sole. Everything that you (or I, if I had my way) could need in a comfortable shoe.
