Thank you for your interest in our boots! The boots were prepped for purchase by cleaning the soles, cleaning the exterior with a leather cleaner, conditioning the exterior with a leather conditioner, washing the laces, and using an antimicrobial spray on the inside. Please refer to the photos for the details on the condition. Our items are stored in a smoke-free environment. We ship our items within one business day. We package our items with care. Feel free to message us with any questions. #2
