I purchased these for a piano recital and have used them 3-4 times. There are no noticeable scratches, and I believe they are in a condition that you will be satisfied with. The shoe size is 18 cm, but I will also include insoles cut to 17.5 cm. I will ship them in the original box, wrapped in waterproof nylon, etc. I am very sorry, but due to the price being set as low as possible including shipping, I cannot negotiate a price reduction. Thank you for your understanding. If you have any questions, please ask in the comments.
