My family fell in love with these shoes and bought them new, but they were only worn a few times indoors. They're flat ballet flats, which my family wasn't used to, and the fit wasn't right, so they've been stored in their original box at home. They have elastic straps with rubber laces, so you can adjust them to fit your instep. The rubber soles make them comfortable to wear. I'm not an expert on leather, but I believe they are suede or possibly velour, and they have a strong, genuine leather smell. They are a dark burgundy wine color, a very elegant shade. They are US size 5.5M, which I believe is a 22.5M in Japan. My family member is also 22.5cm, and they fit perfectly. Please note: Although they are almost new, due to being stored at home in their original box, the Hush Puppies logo on the insole is peeling due to aging. You may want to remove it completely or replace the insole. Please check the photos and only purchase if you are okay with this. They were expensive when purchased, so to offer them at a reasonable price, I will dispose of the original box (shown in the last photo) and ship them via Yu-Packet Post with simple packaging instead of Takkyubin (home delivery service). Please understand. The upper part of the heel bends softly like ballet shoes, so I have confirmed that they can be shipped via simple packaging and posted. I will sell them to someone who doesn't mind the insole and likes the shoes. I hope they can be of use to someone who understands that they have been stored at home.
