used

US8.5/UK7.5-8 (gum waffle outsole portion measures 27.3cm)

good used condition. the rubber shows very very minor dryness & wrinkling upon bend, however no hardening. the pigskin trim collar shows wear & exposes the underlying foam in parts however looks to have been sealed with something, & remains intact & soft. the internal heel counter looks to have faced complete breakdown & the plastic was removed by previous owner. this does reduce stability at the heel however will improve comfort. the top & bottom edge of the friction has crusted somewhat as tacky areas dry. with wear this will soften. size not visible but confident US8.5
