Only worn a few times as the size is too big for me. They’re unfortunately sold out online or I would buy another pair. Beautiful brass coloured eyelets which compliments the chestnut brown leather. They will eventually wear in with a patina like the first photo, this is on the Dr martens own website with the boots. At present the wax from them being new is still on there, over time this will wear off and create its own unique patina.
