I purchased this item as "new and unused," and it has been kept unopened at home. I no longer have plans to use it, so it has only been stored at home. It is in the same condition as when I received it. These are glossy, beautiful enamel zori (sandals) to be worn with formal kimono such as visiting kimonos and tomesode (formal black kimono with family crests) for weddings, entrance ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, etc. These simple and elegant zori can be worn with any color or pattern of kimono. Zori: Free size (equivalent to M~L) Length: Approximately 24cm (suitable for those with feet 23cm~25cm long) Heel height: Approximately 5cm Platform width: Approximately 8cm [How to choose your size] The ideal size for zori is one where the heel slightly extends beyond the platform, so that you don't step on or get the hem of your kimono caught. We recommend a platform size that is the same as your actual foot size, or about 5mm smaller than your actual foot size.
