These are high-end, all-leather shoes made based on the philosophy that shoe selection is key to foot and health. *Please note* This item is discounted due to a defect. Please check the following text and images. JOY is a German brand that makes high-quality shoes designed with foot health in mind, addressing issues like flat feet, bunions, walking posture, and other health problems related to the feet and overall body. We hope that those looking for high-quality shoes for foot health and proper walking will find these useful. The fact that these are leather boots with a sturdy construction that holds the ankles is a very important factor for foot health and good walking posture. There are also small rubber darts near the base of the laces, and there are detailed designs for ease of wear. The box says in German "feine schuhe KAFEE brillant CALF" which means "fine shoes, coffee color, brilliant calf leather." The color has a purple hue, so I think it's a purplish dark brown. It is made of high-quality calf leather and has an elegant luster. Marked size 5, equivalent to 24.5 cm. Heel height is about 4cm including the rubber. Used only once or twice for a short time. Recently, the rubber on the heel was replaced with a new one for the listing. All leather. The lining inside is also genuine leather. I noticed for the first time when listing that there is a fraying in the stitching of the seam on the base of the tongue under the laces of the left shoe. It is not visible from the outside, and in my opinion, it should not be a problem when wearing it, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. We have discounted the price considering this defect. It is possible to have it repaired at a repair shop, and it seems possible to repair it by hand-sewing, but it will be delivered as is without repair, so please understand. The soles have some wear and dirt from walking. The box has dirt and damage. These are used items that have been stored by an individual, so there may be some damage such as dirt, scratches, fraying, and aging, but we cannot accept returns or complaints, so please understand. #DA2022
