CKC New York Men's Brown Leather Ankle Boots

These brown leather ankle boots from CKC New York feature a double monk strap design and a convenient side zipper. The boots are made with genuine leather and have a size 10 fit. They're built with a classic Goodyear welt construction. From Chat GPT The marking reads “CKC New York” and “Original Goodyear Welt,” followed by 10. So I would interpret it as: * Brand: CKC New York * Construction: Original Goodyear welt * Size: Men’s US 10 * Country of manufacture: Not stated * Condition: Essentially unworn, based on the soles you showed And “Goodyear Welt” is important. It refers to the method of attaching the upper, insole and outsole with a welt, rather than being a claim that the boots were made by Goodyear or in a particular country. It’s a well-regarded, durable and generally repairable method of shoe construction. I also found something interesting about CKC New York itself. It was a genuine New York menswear/luxury brand, and its current website describes it as a made-to-order menswear business with footwear among its offerings. More importantly, in 2023 CKC New York was acquired by the group behind Stefano Bemer, the respected Florentine luxury shoemaker. That doesn’t prove these particular boots were made in Italy, but it does make me more comfortable treating CKC as a legitimate higher-end menswear label rather than an anonymous shoe brand.
