I bleached and washed these at home. I wore these two pairs interchangeably, so I didn't wear them roughly. I wrote my name on them, so I've covered it up. Asics' Sukusuku series is safe for children to wear, and I've continued to buy various colors as my children outgrew them. I plan to list more when they outgrow these too. I will ship these via Takkyubin Compact, compressing the shoes only. I've included a picture of the box for reference. If you need the box, please let me know, and I will add the shipping cost. These are durable shoes and still in good condition, so why not use them as spares, backup shoes, or shoes you don't mind getting dirty?
