These are in excellent condition and will be shipped in the original box. They have been worn out & do have some light wear on the heals (see photo). Since these are real suede leather there are natural markings (see photo) but no damage from wear & no break in period needed. The color is a warm grey that goes really well with denim and black. All purpose boots: great in the snow, cold, autumn or rain. Let me know if you need more pictures or anything!
