These are dark grey suede ankle boots I purchased from Nordstrom Rack. Never worn. Variations in color (pictures) are from the suede. If you brush one way or the other, the color or what looks like a flaw in the picture disappears. Pictures may look like the suede is stained, again, just the photo. These are in mint condition- see bottom of shoe, no wear on sales tag. Regularly $79, I bought for $51, but you get to have them today for a great savings
