I have used this item twice. There is some dirt on the soles of the sandals, but I think there are no other noticeable scratches or stains. It has been stored at home for a long time. I don't think there is any particular smell, but please refrain from purchasing if you are at all concerned. The inside of the bag has one small pocket. The size is: Height: 15cm Width: 19cm at the bottom (18cm in the middle) Depth: 6cm The sandals were used by someone who wears shoe sizes 23-23.5. There is no box.
