These shoes are gorgeous & I hate to see them leave my collection. Well made & structurally sound with lots of life to live. These do have some imperfections (mainly from improper storage, rather than use) Photo 3 shows a piece of the sole Is damaged Photos 4&6 show imperfections/scuffs to the leather Photo 8 shows wear to the wooden heel Great piece for restoration as they are very sturdy & strong, with some cosmetic issues. Functional & can most definitely be worn in the current condition.
