My husband bought me these gorgeous boots as a push present in 2019 (receipt in photos). They have never been laced all the way up, so they show signs of wear around the ankles wear they have been tied. I have never worn them in the rain or off the pavement. Louis Vuitton shoes have IT/EU shoe sizing, these are a size 38 (size 8 US). I typically wear a 7.5 however with boots I size up to an 8 especially if wearing thicker socks. The boots, individual dustbags, receipt and box will come together.
