My tops & vamps were fine. I had my soles rebuilt by them (Bonds) in the mid to late 1990's. They cut the soles off in front of the pegs & penny nail shank because they don't want to get into that. New heel blocks & caps but mine were still not painted. I'm thinking someone besides Bond's resoled the boots.HJ, I thought the same thing after seeing the interior shot as they look like maybe they've seen a little wear but they are 40 years old. Those boots don't have a mark on the outside of them. I've never worn anything that needed resoling that didn't have some scuffing, even my most prized ones. Maybe Bond did that on his soles in the in the 70's? If not, they went somewhere other than a cobbler for a resole. Had to go to someone with a last to fit or Tulsa shoe re-builders. I still think original.
