Info on these Sears-branded cowboy boots from the 80s/90s?

Good morning all. My mom recently found these old Sears-branded boots that were my Dad's. He passed away many years ago, so there is some sentimental value. I'm guessing he bought these probably circa 1990. Anybody have any info on the origin? The quality is OK -- they're obviously not Luccheses, but they're not trash either. Curious if Sears actually manufactured these or someone else...appreciate any insight you can share!

Those look like classic vintage leather side zip boots. Sears sold a variety of private label footwear during that era, and many of its products were manufactured by outside footwear companies rather than Sears itself. So it's quite possible these were made by another American or overseas manufacturer and sold under the Sears name.
I'd be interested in seeing a picture of the label inside the shaft, the soles and any markings inside the boots. Those details could help narrow down the manufacturer and country of origin. Given the sentimental value, I'd definitely hold on to them if they belonged to your dad. They have a nice vintage look

I could be wrong, but I don't think Sears manufactured any of their products; they were all made by outside 3rd parties.
