RE: previous reviews; YES they have a distressed look (awesome, supple soft leather upper), NO they are not "used". TRUE to size, just like my other Doc Martens. Comfy, badass looking (you ladies know what I mean). I'm a trucker and an "old lady", but feminine through and through~so no assumptions/stereotyping. If you like the look online, just WAIT 'til you open the box and sing (to the cotton jingle) "The look, the feel of leatherrr" I promise you, if this is your style, you will LOVE 'EM!! Next on the list...Doc Martens' 'Triumph'. Happy Shopping Ladies!
