These are such great boots, and still have plenty of life left! I recently had the rubber soles put on, which is top quality, a German shoe rubber that will never need to be replaced. You can see the nail head on the bottom of the heels, but that is from recent repair as well. It’s not actually worn down. There is some sign of wear on the suede, but it can be cleaned and treated. Comes with original duster as well as the original box. This brand tends to run a little bit on the small side. While these are size 42, they fit more like a 10.5 or 11 US size. I am a 10 1/2 and I usually wore them with stockings or a thin sock and they fit perfectly fine.
