these were bought secondhand in tatters and I did the best I could ro make them wearable for a new owner they were gently cleaned and new red leather paint was added by me. most of the peeling is on the black ankle area that could be fixed by a cobbler! they show minor flaws/peeling/cracks due to gentle and delicate nature of the embossed leather and the age! the bright and dopamine red is so happy and fun. these are fabulous statement boots with such a beautiful flower texture up close. the insides and bottoms are very clean they still show flaws and cracks from the age (2000s) and wear from previous owner but they have new life and are a very special, rare and bespoke boot for someone who wants to make a statement! sz eur 39/ women's 8/ men's 6/ fits like a 8.5 women's but docs run differently than other brands so please know your size! bundle to save! no lowballs please, I spent a lot of time and energy working on these!
