These have been worn just a small handful of times and have tons of life left! They’re tall (15” shaft) and hit below the knee. They’re heel is 3” and they’re very comfortable. I got a close up of the scuffing, and I believe they’re meant to do that over time to give a worn, rugged look. The tread on the heel is almost at 100%, of course the rest of the sole isn’t rubber and therefore shows a lot more wear since every step will leave some marks.
