These were my daughters. She wears her boots like every other teenager. The toes do have scuffing. They have been worn. These are still beautiful condition just a little more worn than my personal items I normally list. She does not wear her clothes like a princess like her mamma does. The leather is soft and perfectly broke in. Feel free to ask questions. These fit 8.5 or an 8 with an insert or thick socks this is the banana color - no box
