This is from a decluttering of my parents' home. The soles are curved. It shouldn't affect wear, but please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. Also, some threads from the knit seam on the back of the ankle are visible, but I have left them as is to prevent unraveling if cut. I believe the material may shed to some extent. Shipping will be in a 60-size box. Thank you for looking.
