I have stored these shoes and have hardly used them. There are no noticeable scratches or wear and tear. The box is slightly dented (see photo 6). They are almost new and in very good condition, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Features: These are split-sole shoes that fit the movement of your feet. Please try the soft, genuine leather feel. Each pair is handmade by Japanese craftsmen. Materials: [Body] Cowhide (natural leather) [Sole] Rubber [Heel] EVA sponge [Insole] Moisture-wicking and quick-drying fiber material Color: Black Size: 27cm
