I purchased this at the Hermès Hankyu Umeda store as a gift, but I haven't had the opportunity to give it, so I've been storing it at home. The box and other packaging have been discarded, so they are missing. However, I purchased this at an authorized Hermès store, so please rest assured that it is genuine and not a counterfeit! These sandals have a wedge sole and ankle strap for stability, making them very easy to walk in. The classic Hermès motif, "Chaîne d'Ancre," is designed on them, giving them an elegant and Hermès-like feel.
