Purchase date unknown. There is some soiling, etc., but the boots are not worn out and can still be used. You can probably recoup the cost after a few rentals, so it's recommended for those planning to start this year. Also, if the size fits, it can be used for children. Highly recommended for beginners who want to try snowboarding! You can put them on by tying the shoelaces, so it should be easy. Since there is some soiling, you can practice without worrying about dirt or scratches! Shipping: Will be shipped in a simple package with bubble wrap over the bag in image 16. Please refer to my other snowboarding items as well. #NaruSnow999 Please comment before purchasing if you have any questions. #Snowboard #Snowboarding #Boots #White #Women's #Children's
