Beautiful boots in excellent condition Some marks, but that’s what happens with real leather. Photo of 1 flaw in stitching. Strange writing on the bottom, but you can see that there is hardly any sign of wear. I treated them with a leather protectant and they darkened up a bit. (See photos) These boots are special. Price is firm because if they don’t sell, I’ll be happy to gift them to somebody with a smaller foot than me. 😊 So so well-made.
