Worn a couple times outside. At the time, I was trying to track how I wear down shoes, so there are some remnants of red “paint.” It wasn’t actually paint and was meant for shoe treads. I just don’t know what to call it. See the last photos for the condition of the treads. There is a small spot of red near the laces. Otherwise, no flaws. Very cute shoes, and these ones are extra comfortable because of the padding at the ankle. The leather is meant to look like the rub-off style. Let me know if you have any questions.
