I purchased these sneakers about 5 years ago, but I don't wear sneakers often, so I think they're in good condition with minimal use. As you can see in the second photo, there's a slightly worn, rough area on the heel, but other than that, I don't think there's anything particularly noticeable. The white specks that look like dirt on the soles are due to the outsole being made from recycled polyester. They are light gray and easy to match with various outfits. I usually wear shoes size 23.5 to 24, but these New Balance sneakers felt just right, without feeling too big, perhaps because of the thick cushioning inside. Therefore, they might be a bit small for those who usually wear a 24.5. Please check the condition in the photos and consider purchasing. Please understand that these are items stored at home and are pre-owned. Thank you for looking.
