super comfy and affordable Whitin Barefoot Chelsea Boots. they have a sock style opening which can be worn cuffed or not. I purchased from Amazon for $45.99, but I always end up wearing my black whitin chelseas, and I need to clean out my closet! No wear on the sole, only a bit dirty, but tread is all still excellent. The color is darker grey more like the stock photos, I think my dreary pnw lighting wasn't working in these boots favor tonight! I'll say these are vegan "leather" and in my experience water resistant. they are fine to wear in the rain, but I wouldn't step in puddles! I will ship these out the day after you pay!
