I purchased these deadstock items from a used clothing store about 20 years ago, but I never had a chance to use them. They've been carefully stored in a shoelace box, so I'm putting them up for sale now. They are brand new and in excellent condition! If you like them, or want to add a unique touch to your shoes, why not? They look great! Stored at home. Feel free to ask any questions you may have (^-^)
