I purchased these at the Mitsukoshi Hoshigaoka store three years ago. They have thick soles for a stable feel and are very easy to wear, making them extremely useful. They are sport sandals, but the elegant color scheme prevents them from being too casual, and I think they can be worn by people of all ages. There is some scuffing on the inside, but it's not visible when worn. They look to be in good condition at a glance.
