Shipping will be from a remote island, so arrival may be delayed due to weather or transportation conditions. This is a used item, stored at home. It will be simply packaged. I have a cat. There are no smokers in the family. If you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. My two children used these. There is a feeling of use and some stains, but they can still be worn. I will post any necessary photos, so please let me know. I will ship the New Balance shoes without the box and with simple packaging.
