Purchased about 6 years ago. I've worn them several times, so there's a used feel characteristic of leather. There's scuffing on the toes. The logo on the insole has faded, but there are no major stains or scratches. It's very good leather, so I think it will become even more shiny and beautiful if you polish it, but I will ship it as is. They've softened up and I think they're easy to wear. How about them for everyday wear? For those who love Merrell ♡ I think they're still wearable, but please understand that these are used items.
