I've worn these six times. The soles are not protected, so the dirt is noticeable, but the uppers and sides have almost no dirt or scratches. If you'd like, I can include the box and tags when I ship them. These are black leather tabi shoes with a split-toe design, suitable for a wide range of occasions, from casual to formal. - Color: Black - Design: Split-toe tabi style - Material: Leather - Uses: Both casual and formal Thank you for looking.
