Black Velvet Doc Martens, US size 9 L

A well-loved pair of black velvet Docs with black stitching and the signature soles. Broken-in and have seen many shows. As a result of heavy use, a lot of the velvet has become scuffed and patchy in some places. The leather bias trim on the top is a bit worn. Please see listing photos as I have documented the imperfections! US 9 L - that's an 8 m, according to the size conversion chart on the Doc Martens website. I'm an 8.5 in ladies and they fit perfectly with room to spare. The model # on the inner tongue reads: aw004 gv07n I'm not a Dr. Martens historian (wouldn't that be a hell of a title??) but comparing to similar listings that feature the black stitching and velvet, I can safely say these are pretty hard to come by. Would look stunning with brightly colored laces. Make an offer if you like them. They want to go to more goth shows but I just don't find myself reaching for them any more.
