Hello 👋 these Dr. Martens are still in great condition besides a few scuffs. The metal part that you grab onto from the zipper broke off but the zipper works perfectly fine on the left boot. Whenever I wore them I laced up the left but other than that they are not fully broken in. Don't forget to wear some thick socks if you buy these. I will include an extra pair of yellow Dr. Marten laces. Let me know if you have any questions 💖
