have become more available over the years as boot making techniques
improved. However, most people still tend to buy Full Quill Ostrich
boots. Sometimes you will find Smooth Leg Ostrich leather used on the
tops. The most popular vamp (feet) and top combination is Full Quill
Ostrich on the vamp and Calf skin for the tops.
