I bought this same pair of John Varvatos boots (in black) at least 4-5 years ago, but the car-tire sole is worn to the point that water will permeate in wet conditions. Time to replace them. I went down to the John Varvatos store at the old CBGB location at Bowery & Bleeker, but apparently, these are only sold online.
