The uppers are ingood vintage conditionand remain very supple and structurally sound. There is normal creasing and light surface wear from previous use, but overall the black leather presents extremely well and is not thinning whatsoever.
There are two notable cosmetic flaws on theleft shoe: a small area of leather damage/scuffing near the upper heel seam and a small scratch/scuff along the upper near the topline. Both are shown clearly in the photos. There is also general minor scuffing and wear consistent with age and use across both shoes.
The leather soles show wear from use but remain intact. The shoes have the substantial, traditional construction associated with Church\'s Custom Grade footwear.
