Yes they are new and no they aren't defects. I have a friend that manages a store in a mall here and wants to trade chocolate for boots. I wear size 13 and the biggest size I can get is size 10. They have never been worn and I know for a fact that they are way comfortable. Below is a stock photo BUT the color that I have available is a lighter color than this; almost a tan-yellow. I cant describe the color but I can promise that they look great. They retail for 130.00 but the price will be 50.00. I will have sizes 8-10 for those of you with such little feet Let me know if this is something you guys are interested in.
I remember when everyone wore these boots, they were really comfortable too.. I remember I couldn't destroy them even if I tried..
