I don't remember the exact purchase date, but I believe it was over 4 years ago. I've used it about twice and have been storing it at home. The size is listed as S, but I usually wear 22.5cm shoes. When I wear these boots, there's a little extra room in the toes, so I'm listing it as 23cm. The leather is soft, and although my feet aren't particularly narrow, the boots stretched to fit my foot width, so I could wear them without pain. This may vary from person to person, so please use this as a reference.
