These shoes are incredibly well worn with visible scratches, marks, the top catching on stuff etc. Feel free to ask for more photos or examine closely before purchasing. The little holes in the MJ design are stopped up from the shine / buff kit but I will go over the shoes with said kit before sending it off. Residue in shoe is the sticky part from those heel covers and will clean off. They're still super functionable & wearable but I typically wear oxfords now! * Women size 8 + color black.
