Nice, shiny, don't need polishing. Wide as stated. The opening compresses a little more when you put your foot in than other dockers, so you'll need to adjust your socks. But when it's on, it feels great, works great. I'll order a few more in a moment. Looks better than the dockers I bought which are almost the same but have a smooth smooth rounded finish whereas the other dockers are more like cut leather around the edges.
