I have this boot in a brown and love it so much I wanted it in black. Originally ordered black finish and recieved boot in stone wash finish. This finish is rustic and looks like someone has dragged toes of boot over sand paper, so much so, that the toes are actually white in color. Not what I was looking for! Then I ordered the boot in this "Brushed Off" finish thinking this would be the look I was going for. Wrong. This finish is speckly and leather is bumpy, making boot appear "cheap". Finally settled for the Stone Washed finish because leather was soft and rich looking and my Husband polished the boots with a black polish. The end result is the boots I was looking for! Love this boot but there are just so many finishes to choose from and so confusing. Never did recieve or see the just "Black" finish I originally ordered. But I am happy with the boots I ended up with.
