As far as I can tell, these were a Europe & Asia exclusive model that I was able to get my hands on. The color is not like the one you can get today. These are black all the way through, are quite oily and supposedly can polish up nice, if desired. The last pic shows just a small discoloration on the right/front of the sole. I am not seeing any indicator that these are Factory Seconds. Men’s Red Wing 6 Inch Moc Toe Boots Product ID: 8130 Color: Smooth Black Chrome Tan Leather Size: 11.5 Condiction: New in Box
