The Utility mark is impressed on each instep of the sole and inside, beside each symbol there inscribed a number.
Each shoe has a protective rubber on the sole which is the wrong shape for the shoe. The trees appear to be roughly cut down boot trees and each one is in four sections. They have caused some wear to the inside of the shoes.
