I was very excited upon purchasing these boots due to the description and amazing price, however, once I received the package I was a bit disappointed to find the boots appeared excessively scuffed and stained as if they had been previously worn. Upon very close examination of the product picture one can see what appears to be some dark discoloration of the leather which at first appears to be shadowing but is apparantly not, mine were more so than the photo. The product description does not list the boots as "distressed" or having a "worn" look but it probably should as this is what was recieved. the fit is at least a FULL SIZE LARGER than what they claim as is stated in a previous review but if this is taken into account when ordering the boots are quite comfortable. Overall the boots were deemed acceptable despite the scuffing due to the exceptional price and the fact that my wife liked them anyway.
