​

    * HIPPOPOTAMUS - DURABLE AND SOFT, HIPPO HIDES ARE AN ABSOLUTE PLEASE TO WEAR, WHILE ALSO                  BEING TOUGH AND DURABLE. DUE TO THE AGGRESSION OF HIPPO'S, THEIR HIDES ARE OFTEN TIMES                        EXTREMELY SCARRED AND YOUR BOOTS MAY HAVE A SCAR OR TWO. WE DO OUR BEST TO AVOID THIS, BUT IT          IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE.
