These definitely have wear on the hardware, and scuffs on the leather. It’s a bit more in person (up close) than while wearing. Price reflects that, perhaps a trip to the cobbler would really spruce them up. That being said, lots of life left and while wearing they look great! I wore them less than 3 times, so the photos from the previous seller are accurate. Reposhing this item I purchased from @izabelka28. Loved it, but ready to rotate for something new. Questions?
