These are gold Saga-Nishiki zori (Japanese sandals). The Saga-Nishiki weave is very fine and beautiful. They are from 20 years ago. There is no fading at all, but there is some scuffing on the rubber soles at the toes. It's not noticeable when worn, so I think they can still be worn. They have the Ito-Chu brand name on them. They are especially recommended for those with foot sizes of 23-24.5 cm.
