Is smooth ostrich real ostrich leather?

Yes. Smooth ostrich is genuine ostrich leather, taken from the smoother areas of the hide rather than the quilled sections. It keeps the soft feel and fine texture of ostrich with a quieter look than full quill.

How does it compare with full-quill ostrich boots?

Full-quill boots show large, raised quills and usually sit in the premium tier from brands like Lucchese. Smooth ostrich is flatter and more understated, and it is the more affordable way into exotic leather.

What heel and shaft does it have?

It has a 1 1/2-inch block heel and a 13-inch shaft. The block heel is broader than a traditional underslung heel, so it stands more stable on uneven ground.

What is the outsole made of?

A leather outsole. That is traditional for cowboy boots and looks right with western wear, but it grips poorly on wet pavement, so many owners add a rubber sole saver.

How should I care for ostrich leather?

Wipe off dust with a soft cloth and use a conditioner made for exotic leathers, sparingly. Keep the boots away from heavy rain and let them dry away from direct heat.

Who is this boot for?

Western wear fans and riders who want an exotic-leather cowboy boot with classic styling. Shoppers who need all-day cushioning or wet-weather grip should look at hybrid-sole cowboy boots instead.

Our take on the Ferrini Men's Smooth Ostrich Boots

The Ferrini Smooth Ostrich is a western cowboy boot in genuine ostrich leather, built on a classic profile with a 1 1/2-inch block heel, a 13-inch shaft and a leather outsole. Smooth ostrich gives it the quill texture and soft hand of exotic leather at a lower cost than full-quill ostrich boots from Lucchese or Tony Lama. It suits riders and western wear fans who want an exotic boot without stepping up to premium exotics. Owners describe it as a sharp-looking boot; the leather outsole and tall shaft are the main trade-offs for everyday wear.
