These boots are in really good used condition. I am the original owner, and wore these a fair amount. They are broken in, but still have solid life in the tread and leather. There is no scuffing on the toes!! Visible signs of wear would be creasing at the flex point. They no longer make this style. The Clemency 8-eye boot has a low, chunky heel, deceptively elevating an iconic silhouette — adding some height while still rocking some unmistakable attitude. Otherwise, all the classic Doc's DNA is there — including Smooth, a lightly textured, very durable leather with a soft sheen. 8-eye boot Made with Smooth, the classic Dr. Martens leather Retains all the Dr. Martens DNA, like grooved edges, yellow welt stitching and scripted heel-loop Heel height is 2" Built on top of the iconic Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole, with good abrasion and slip-resistance The boot is Goodyear welted, meaning the upper and sole are sewn together in our heat-sealed z-welt stitch
