On the fence about selling these because I love them so much. 🌸 Embroidered anything is my favorite! But they just do not fit my feet as hard as I try post-baby. I got a pair of 9s now that fit much better. Here’s the thing…I tried to make them look nicer with some leather polish and forgot to buff them and the polish caked on overnight. Hence the wild leather look. But I kinda like it! Maybe you do too? Or maybe you know how to buff leather or treat it to make it look nice again? Either way. These boots are the best… All signs of wear pictured. These are hearty shoes.
