I bought these at a MIZUNO store! I replaced the insoles and applied Shoe Goo to the outsoles (to prevent heel wear), so I don't think there's any heel wear. The design incorporates the sand, sea, and sky into the sneakers, and the blue gradation is a very beautiful feature. I really loved them. I will ship them in the box shown in the image, with measures taken to prevent them from getting wet! Please refrain from purchasing if you are particular about the condition of the box. Instant purchase OK!
