I love the 1500 series. I've only worn these twice. I usually wear a 24.5 in the 1500 series, but I was able to wear these without any problems by tightening the laces. They are generally quite clean, but there is some slight soiling. (Please check the photos) I think it can be removed with a shoe cleaner. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to this. NEW BALANCE M1500WHI MADE IN ENGLAND, US7.5. This is a particularly popular clean white-based colorway. The upper is made entirely of high-quality natural leather, giving the M1500 a luxurious all-leather look. The smooth leather feels very nice. This is a limited edition model that is now difficult to obtain. I accidentally threw away the box, so I will send them in a different box. The product is 100% authentic. Color...
