I fell in love with these at Second Street two years ago and bought them. They were 22,000 yen. The soles show almost no wear, and there are hardly any scratches. I've worn them 4-5 times, but as you can see in the photos, I have a severe bunion, and the outer side of my big toe bone rubs, making it impossible to walk for more than 30 minutes without pain. It's a shame, but I hope someone will love to wear them! I've taken good care of them after each wear. I've also mirror-polished the toes with the beeswax shown in the photos. These side lace-up U-tip shoes are likely a rare type that's no longer in production. Please note that the box is not included. Thank you for your consideration.
