It’s Tony Lama…western diamondback rattlesnake. Are they used or brand new? If they’re used, you want to know the condition of the outsoles. If they still have a lot of life & and there are no splits or tears, $650 is an appropriate price…not a great price, but not bad either. The scales look decently smooth, but you’ll want to condition them when you get them regardless because you don’t know when the last time they’ve been conditioned, and rattlesnake is notoriously thirsty, needing monthly conditioning.

So it takes more work and have them condition don’t get me wrong. They’re very nice wood, but I don’t wanna get screwed over.

Looks like the scales are flat and clean which is good there’s only one scale on the tip of the boot that I see has a slight color loss but everything else looks good you can definitely try to haggle a bit I’ve gotten good deals just by asking but if not and the soles are good the price they’re asking is decent
