From website: All the history and tough-girl durability to the original, iconic boot - like the unmistakable 8-eye silhouette - now in a pebbled metallic sheen. + Retains all the classic Doc’s DNA, including grooved edges, visible stitching heel loop. + Made with the iconic Dr. Marten’s air cushioned sole, that’s oil and fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistant. These boots are GUC. Nothing wrong with the construction except for a little wear on the heel. Definitely some sections of the boot of the silver have rubbed off. See photos. Also the laces are fraying. You might want to pick up a new set. They’re $4 on Doc Marten website. Feel free to ask questions!
