I cut 5.6 cm of the ribbon, intending to use it. I purchased these after trying them on, but the size doesn't seem to fit after all, so I'm putting them up for sale. I've handled them a bit, and I've tried them on and walked around in them a few times indoors. Also, please understand that the ribbon has been cut and there are marks on the soles. I recently purchased them for over 8000 yen.
