I bought these for my eldest son's entrance ceremony two years ago, and he only wore them for one day. He wore them with socks, and I wiped them down after use and stored them for two years (he's now in second grade). Since they're for a child, there are some minor scratches, but they're not noticeable from a distance. I've included everything I've noticed, but please refrain from purchasing if you're concerned. If you're looking for shoes for a kindergarten graduation ceremony or elementary school entrance ceremony, or if you understand that these are used items, please consider them. I vaguely remember buying them at Aeon for a regular price of 2,880 yen (excluding tax).
