I recently purchased these and wore them twice. They're made of sheepskin, so I thought size 36 would be okay, but it was a bit tight. I repurchased them in 36.5, so I'm selling these. The hardware is silver, and the protective stickers are still in place. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly sensitive to items that have been stored at home. I purchased these at a department store in Fukuoka City. I've only used them twice and have been storing them since.
