I haven’t worn these that often but they do have scuffed bottoms and light wear on the leather. They are size 7.5 and I normally wear an 8 and they fit me comfortably. The woven leather has more give. A higher rise gives The Paz an elevated edge, offset by the handwoven style's luxuriously soft feel. SIZE:We recommend sizing down a half size, as the open woven leather will soften and relax with wear.
