I've home-cleaned these at home before listing, so you can wear them right away!! I'm looking forward to purchases from those who understand that these are used items that my child has worn ^ ^ It's still hot, but thanks to Anpanman, we got through the shoe-hating and "no-no" phase. He loved wearing them because the beads make a fun rattling sound♡ They're expensive to buy new, and kids quickly outgrow them, so get them for 1/4 of the original price ^ ^ *Will ship via Yu-Packet Post without the original box, in simple packaging.
