These are formal shoes from Nishimatsuya that I bought last year for a school presentation. I only used them once for a meal at a hotel (the presentation itself was in a costume) and have kept them stored since then. They were only outside briefly when getting in and out of the car. I've inspected them myself, and there are only slight creases from wear, and I haven't noticed any significant scratches. I'm selling them because my child has outgrown them. These shoes are lightweight and easy to wear. They might feel a bit larger than the size indicated.
