My daughter just had to have these boots when she was in her “alt” fashion phase, but wasn’t confident to wear them out of the house but once! The scuff marks come from being thrown in the closet without care. Letting you know this because they are basically brand new, but do have light scuffing on the patent vegan leather, and one deeper scuffed area on the top “big toe” area (see pic). I wiped them down with mild soap and water, but did not do much to try to get the scuff marks to be less noticeable. Please see the exact description from the website, which gives all the details. These are a size 10 in women’s sizing. There are some reviews saying they run slightly larger. I have a wide foot and they don’t feel super narrow in the toe box. These have remained in a smoke free home.
