These are absolutely gorgeous boots with a lot of life left in them. The wear is in need of some polish but I have worn them "as is" and like the weathered look. I am not well versed in polish so I do not want to ruin them. Please see all pictures before buying. size 8/39. They are very comfortable and comfortable to walk in. These are beautiful and unique boots. Can no longer get them. signs of wear as photographed.
