These boots were only worn once. BUT I made the MISTAKE of putting the box in the attic!!! The boots ended up getting dots of a white, powdery substance scattered around them.

I just did a quick swipe with Mink Oil. The white dots are totally gone. BUT when I am looking at them from about 6" away I can see a slight shadow on the leather.

But unless you are 6" away these boots look like shiny  BLACK leather!!!

I cannot say that with more effort than a swipe of Mink Oil the shadows will go away...

If I saw these boots in person I would DEFINITELY buy them!!!

They're so gorgeous!!! With all the metal accents!!!

Even though I wore them one time and they got dots of that white powdery substance on the outside these DO NOT smell!!!
