Bought them hoping that a shoemaker could fix them up- but in certain light you can see the color difference with the bows. Got them a little bit better, but they are not in great condition. They show their wear, however, depending on how you dress them up, it's is easy to hide the flaws. Reposhing this item I purchased from @saliyev. Loved it, but ready to rotate for something new.
