The first time I wore these, the toes scuffed by the end of the day.  The worn area looks like a cardboard composite material and is very visible.  Due to the print of the boot, it will be very hard to hide the scuff.  I love the way they look, but with a toe scuff that is hard to hide, I may never wear them again.  On a positive note, the boots are true to description, they hit my knee at the perfect spot and were comfortable to wear during a day on my feet toting around a 2 and a 1 year old.
