These are kids' shoes made of navy suede. They are a product of the German shoe manufacturer, Daumling. My daughter, whose ankles were unstable and would collapse while walking, is now able to walk with her ankles straight. The firm heel and leather material seem to provide a different level of fit. Also, while the usual Asics shoes need to be replaced every 3-4 months, these lasted for six months. Although they are expensive shoes, I feel they are well worth the price. I purchased them at the shoe store, Auto Fitz, in Kichijoji. The size is listed as 23, which is 15.0 cm in Japanese size. Retail price: 17,800 yen - Color: Navy - Material: Suede - Sole color: Brown - Insole material: Leather Thank you for looking.
