My daughter wore these for a short period when she was small. The material on the heel seems to stain easily, and there are some slightly darkened areas, but I personally think they are not very noticeable. I hardly notice any fading. Please check the photos and purchase only if you are satisfied. I am a private seller, and these were used by a child, so there may be oversights. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details or are overly sensitive. These shoes have a height that covers the ankles, making them perfect for small children who are not yet good at walking. They have fluffy boa and I hope you will wear them a lot in the coming season. Due to their height, I will lightly compress them and ship them via Takkyubin Compact or Yu-Packet Plus. Shipping costs are high, so please understand that I can only offer a small discount. m(_ _)m Miki House MIKIHOUSE Baby Boots Boa Shoes Size 12cm Red Autumn/Winter
