The Black Jack Pirarucu Fish Inverted Dark Stone Grey Boots (IDSG1734-V4) are premium, hand-crafted western boots that showcase the unique "Big Bass" leather in a striking modern finish. Like all Black Jack products, they are 100% handmade in El Paso, Texas.

Key Product Features:

  • Uppers: Typically crafted from Black Sueded Goat leather, providing a soft and matte contrast to the textured fish skin.
  • Height: Features a standard 12-inch shaft.
  • Design: Frequently features the Del Rio Cord or Waxahachi Cord (Style #1734) decorative stitching.
• Toe & Heel (V4 Configuration):
  • Toe: Commonly configured with a V-Toe (a narrow, approximately 1.25" wide profile with a slant).
  • Heel: Typically features a #4 Cowboy Heel (approx. 1.5 inches) or a #3 Walking Heel.
• Construction Excellence:
  • Support: Reinforced with 60 lemonwood pegs and a 5-inch, 16-gauge double-ribbed steel shank to prevent the arch from collapsing.
  • Soles: Built with a durable 10-iron leather outsole and a 9-iron channeled leather insole.

Why Choose Inverted Pirarucu?

• Unique Aesthetic: Pirarucu scales are some of the largest in the natural world. The inverted finish highlights these scales, giving the boots a rugged, organic "dragon-scale" appearance.
• Supple Comfort: Despite its thick, scaly appearance, pirarucu leather is remarkably soft and flexible, often requiring very little break-in time.
• Sustainability: The leather is a regulated byproduct of the Brazilian fishing industry, helping fund sustainable fisheries in the Amazon.
