These Dr. Martens have a unique suede-like texture. I bought them at a used clothing store. I have a lot of shoes, so I've only worn these twice since I bought them. The soles are worn slightly at an angle, so they've been repaired with a "merry heel." The insoles are also in relatively good condition. The color is a khaki-leaning dark brown. The laces are black. You could change the laces if you want a more casual look. Made in England I'm also selling other Dr. Martens. Brown, used clothing, Harajuku, Shimokitazawa, Flamingo
