Overview
These burgundy-brown leather boots combine raised moc-toe seams, tall supportive shafts, and substantial dark soles—a handsome example of practical outdoor footwear. The woven Cabela’s labels are readable, and the stamped style number appears consistent with 59370; the actual factory is not identified.
Story
Cabela’s began in 1961 selling fishing flies by mail. These Sidney, Nebraska labels connect the boots to the catalog era, when outdoor adventures often began with a wish list at the kitchen table.
Maker / Origin
Dick and Jim Cabela built their outdoor business from a small mail-order operation into a nationally recognized outfitter. The label identifies the retailer, not necessarily the workshop that manufactured these boots.
Condition & Value
Visible toe scuffing, leather creasing, rubbed seam edges, and label fraying indicate use; the lacing hardware appears present. Outsole tread and sole integrity are not shown, and their condition will materially affect resale value.
