I bought these on eBay last year and never wore them. They’re gorgeous boots that seem like they originally retailed for nearly $800. They have seen some wear but that is mostly apparent in the soles. The leather is deliberately distressed. As far as I can tell, no studs are missing. They’re luxurious with a long life ahead of them but the price reflects that they have been worn by their owner who was not me so I can’t describe what they’ve seen.
