unworn & all rubber remains soft & flexible. saying that, the right shoe saw minor exposure to the elements with resulting rubber yellowing to the toe. the friction is a little dry with some wrinkling upon impressions, however it’s not crusty at all. the suede on the right shoe is also a bit darker…. but this was not that uncommon. the osnaburg friction does show some discolouration however i foresee these to hold up to normal wear, which the low foxing should facilitate, & the above should not effect longevity.
