Looks like a minor problem with the glazing finish. A sparing application of this will restore the original plasticky luster, if that's what you are looking for. Alternatively, try using some paste wax.- RobinM

Any customer who would seriously consider such purchase doesn't really need to be remined a million times how rare these shoes are. I assume the seller wants to sell the shoes to someone who appreciates the boots...- RobinM
