These are Italian-made rubber-soled shoes from Ships. The subdued navy-gray nubuck material makes them easy to coordinate with both casual and formal outfits. Personally, I think they look great with black denim for a rock-and-roll look. They haven't been worn much, so there's no noticeable damage, but they are a few years old, so please be aware of some dirt, especially on the rubber soles. The size is European size 39, which corresponds to a Japanese size of 24.5-25.0 cm.
