These are gorgeous Ropers in a natural leather, meant to age with natural distressed look. There are some scrape marks and bend marks for a lived in look. I only wore them a few times. I wish I could wear them more- but I since got into only wearing “foot shaped” shoes, so they make my feet feel a little claustrophobic. If you are used to wearing shoes narrow in the toes, you’ll probably be fine with these. I think they fit true to size. Please look closely at photos to appreciate the distressed nature of this leather.
