2010s-2020s. This is a contemporary model that has been a staple in the Ralph Lauren casual footwear line for the last decade.
Material
Heavyweight canvas upper, leather trim around the collar, rawhide leather laces, brass eyelets, and a vulcanized rubber sole. High-quality durable textile with genuine leather accents.
Condition
Very Good. The canvas shows light fading/dust but no major stains or tears. The leather laces and collar are intact. Interior insoles show light wear to the gold foil branding. Soles appear to have plenty of tread life left.
Demand Level
Moderate. Ralph Lauren footwear is a 'bread and butter' item; it is not high-fashion or rare, but it has a very wide and consistent buyer base.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, Poshmark, and Mercari are the best for this mid-tier brand. Poshmark is especially good for the 'preppy' aesthetic associated with Ralph Lauren.
Selling Tips
Wipe down the rubber soles with a magic eraser to make them bright white again—this significantly increases perceived value. Use keywords like 'Preppy', 'Ivy League', 'Casual', and 'Boating'. Include the size in the listing title. Photograph against a clean, neutral background.
