These boots have been only worn a few times. I bought them new and always chose my other two pair to wear so I decided to sell them. They are extremely comfortable in a size 8 1/2 and the leather is gorgeous and has been conditioned. There is a little shredding at the inside top part of boot, if I kept them I would remove it. Otherwise the interior is in great shape no holes or tears. There are color variations in the leather which came like that and adds to their beautiful rich brown/nutmeg color. There is a lot of life left in these boots!
