Purchased as factory seconds-- no discernible flaws in the manufacturing! the BLUNDSTONE logo on the underside was scratched off before hand, presumably to void the warranty. they aren't the right size for me :-( feel free to ask any questions! I've polished and conditioned the leather a few times which has softened them a little. Boots show some light wear (scuffs and a little creasing). Great used condition and a ton of life in them! thanks for looking!
