I purchased this item as nearly new and used it for water play in the park, etc. I washed and dried it thoroughly after each use and stored it carefully, but I'm selling it because my child has outgrown it. There is some wear on the insole print and some stains on the toes that won't come off (please see the images), but the Velcro is clean and the shoes are still in good condition. My daughter, who has a high instep, used these when she was wearing Moonstar Carrot shoes in sizes 13cm-14cm. Please note that the shoes may be slightly compressed during shipping, but they are soft shoes. #watersandals #watershoes #babysandals #amphibious
