CONDITION — 6/10
These boots are in somewhat distressed vintage condition, showing considerable evidence of age and previous use.
The black leather exhibits surface wear, creasing, scuffing, and areas of finish loss throughout, particularly around the toes, insteps, and shafts. Both toes show noticeable abrasion, with additional wear along the edges of the soles.
The turquoise and cream Thunderbird inlays remain largely intact, although they exhibit discoloration and surface wear consistent with age. The shaft openings show fraying and deterioration along the upper edges, and the leather has developed considerable creasing throughout.
The leather outsoles and heels show evidence of previous use. Despite their cosmetic condition, the boots retain their original decorative design and overall form.
Please examine all photographs carefully to assess their condition.
