Significant scuff marks on the toe caps; surface scratches on the side of the foot; light blooming/oxidization of the rubber. Scuffs are permanent but blooming can be treated with rubber buffer.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, and eBay are the best venues. Poshmark is especially strong for this specific brand and style due to the fashion-forward user base.
Selling Tips
Wipe the boots down with a damp cloth and use a dedicated rubber conditioner (or a tiny bit of olive oil) to remove the white 'blooming' film to make them look new. Use keywords like 'Refined', 'Waterproof', and 'Festival' in the title. Take photos in natural light to show the matte texture accurately.
