Sorry about the delay in getting this up
@madmonday - I've been having phone issues. By that I mean that mine died, and then Google failed to deliver a replacement.

The leather has a thin layer of the dark brown dye, this has worn off on the toe caps, and in a few other places. I've put a small hole in the lining of the shoe at the heel, and the heels also need replacing at some point, but overall they're in reasonable shape. I've had them for 18 or 20 months, and worn them a lot.
