These boots are beautiful! I’ve owned and loved them for 30+ years but wore them very rarely. The time has come to part with them. The suede uppers, heels and soles are in perfect condition. The feather trim on the ankle buckle trim has a few spots where the feathers have worn away. Before I decided to sell these boots, I was going to touch up the light background with a dark marker to make the thin spots less noticeable. The ankle straps can also be removed and the boots look great without them. The heel, toe and buckle hardware is beautiful.
