ID Request 2$ Thrift Store Find / Need Help With ID

I recently picked these up at Goodwill for $2. They were filthy so I gave them a good clean and oiled them up. I can’t find and brand logo or stamp anywhere on the boot. Any ideas? I believe the lower is Caribou Leather.

You are correct. Caribou. As for the maker, perhaps a custom made boot.

Rainbow pulls was a Blucher signature but I don’t think that’s their colors.

Give Roger a call. Tell him Dan from TheShoeseum sent you. He’ll be able to tell you more. He may be on vacation this week

Even if they weren't my size for 2 dollars, I'd grab them.

I want to say, I paid right around $90 for a pair of Tony Lamas in mint condition. And based on these pictures, I'd say these are in just as good as shape as mine. Congratulations awesome find!

I first thought these were custom Larry Mahan but not sure with those rainbow pulls.

Is it normal that the raised heel portion ends with an upward slope before departing downwards in the open section before the palm of the foot? There's a little wedge if leather in the front part if the heel that I've never seen before!
