Purchased at the Red Wing shop in downtown LA in the mid-90s. The sole, shoelaces, etc. are as they were at the time. There is an engraving on the front of the tongue. 9E 9025333 It's difficult to read, so I apologize if it's incorrect. The heel of the sole is quite worn down. I don't think there are any other major damages. I think it has a nice vintage character. *We kindly ask for your purchase if you understand that this is an old item. *No claims, no returns, please.
