The purchase date is unknown. I think I've used it about 10 times in total. Please make your decision based on the photos. As shown in the photos, the shoelaces have been modified with parts that don't require tying. There are no smokers in my family, but I have a dog, so please be aware if you have a dog allergy. I will ship as soon as possible via Yu-Yu Mercari delivery, but please note that payments made from Friday afternoon through the weekend and holidays will be shipped on the following Monday or after the holiday, so I have set the shipping time to 2-3 days. Please note that the shoes will be shipped in a simple package with air-cushion wrapping around the shoe box. [Notes] Since this item is stored at home by an individual, please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous, particular about small details, or seeking a perfect item. *To prevent replacement, returns and exchanges are not accepted. Thank you for your understanding.
