These boots are in fantastic condition, I wore them once with my Beetlejuice Halloween costume, so they now have bright green ribbon laces, but I will include the original black ropes ones, as well. I cleaned the leather up, so it's super shiny, minimal scuffs (see photo), no rips or major blemishes. Tread is in excellent shape. I'd definitely recommend these for size 8, but no bigger than 8 1/2. I typically wear a EU 41, 8 1/2 US in Docs, these are a EU 40 and they are tight on me. These were super hard to find for me, I'm bummed that they just a smidgen too small for me. Reposhing this item I purchased from @laurelmck0824. Loved it, but ready to rotate for something new.
