I bought these a few years ago for around 50,000 yen. After purchasing them, I had non-slip soles added. There are no major noticeable scratches, but there is a general feeling of use, wear on the heels, and scuffing on the toes. I regularly applied leather moisturizer, so there is no drying or deterioration. The side tassels are removable, and the leather is soft, making them very easy to walk in. Size 37
