There are no tricks, hiddin marks, breaks, or damage to the boots at all. I dont know if this seems to good to be true considerdering these boots are worth more than what i am selling them for, but I promise you this is legitimate. If you want more photos i can send them to you via email. Boots are just about brand new. I just grew out of them a lot quicker than I thought. If anyone is interested or wants to make an offer please do. I am looking to get rid of them quick. First come first served. Thank you.
