{"product_id":"tanner-mark-caiman-hornback-black-kabul-boots-tmx100158","title":"Tanner Mark Caiman Hornback Black Kabul Top - TMX100158","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaiman hornback is the boldest cut of the hide\u003c\/strong\u003e, and in black it reads sharp instead of loud. The raised ridges running down the center of the vamp are the animal's dorsal crest — sculpted, three-dimensional, and impossible to fake. Flanking them are rows of squared scales that graduate in size toward the edges. It's the cut people recognize across a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHornback commands its premium because the crest has to be cut, aligned and worked by hand so the ridges run true and mirror each other on both boots. A single hide yields very little usable back, and matching a pair takes considerably more skill than working a flat section. The ridges soften with wear but never flatten out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black finish keeps the ridge geometry as the focal point rather than the color. A Kabul-tone top gives the shaft warmth above the exotic foot, finished with traditional Western stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow these are built.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is Tanner Mark's Black Label construction: the leather outsole is set with lemon wood pegs and brass tacks rather than glued, a steel shank runs through the arch for support, and a three-quarter double-stitched welt joins upper to sole. The shaft is lined in calfskin, the heel is stacked leather, and the insole is comfort cushioned. At this level you're buying a boot to rebuild, not to replace — any bootmaker can resole them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRidge height, scale size and pattern vary from pair to pair; that variation confirms the hide is genuine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle TMX100158\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoot: Genuine caiman hornback, black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaft: Kabul-tone top, calfskin lined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToe: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSole: Leather, lemon wood pegs and brass tacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelt: Three-quarter double stitched · Steel shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeel: Stacked leather · Insole: Comfort cushion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: EE · Available sizes 6–11 including half sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe also carry caiman hornback in brown (TMX100157) and caiman belly in black (TMX100159).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable for in-store pickup in Dallas at Teres Western Wear — 8033 Lake June Rd.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tanner Mark","offers":[{"title":"6 \/ EE","offer_id":47448620433708,"sku":"TMX100158","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6.5 \/ EE","offer_id":47448620466476,"sku":"TMX100158","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 \/ EE","offer_id":47448620499244,"sku":"TMX100158","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7.5 \/ EE","offer_id":47448620532012,"sku":"TMX100158","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 \/ EE","offer_id":47448620564780,"sku":"TMX100158","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8.5 \/ EE","offer_id":47448620597548,"sku":"TMX100158","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 \/ EE","offer_id":47448620630316,"sku":"TMX100158","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ EE","offer_id":47448620663084,"sku":"TMX100158","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 \/ EE","offer_id":47448620695852,"sku":"TMX100158","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ EE","offer_id":47448620728620,"sku":"TMX100158","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ EE","offer_id":47448620761388,"sku":"TMX100158","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0823\/7193\/6556\/files\/tanner-mark-mens-exotic-leather-croc-hornback-black-cowboy-bootsvariable-7580483.webp?v=1779161042","url":"https:\/\/tereswestern.com\/products\/tanner-mark-caiman-hornback-black-kabul-boots-tmx100158","provider":"Teres Western Wear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
