These are very gently pre-owned Ariats - they have many, many years left for one who takes care of their footwear. They've seen routine mink oil, and are soft & supple, phenomenal leather. They have new (trimmed down) Rival insoles in them. They need literally nothing other than a pair of feet. :) They mostly took residency in the closet when I didn't require safety toes any longer, but when I did, they were in a clean aerospace production facility (they haven't had anything, "gross," on them). I never felt the composite line in the toe-box (they were extremely comfortable and felt like soft booties). Thank you for supporting your Posh-sellers. You never know someone's seller-story; you may be providing more than you know. <3
