The simple and elegant design makes it easy to incorporate into both your work commute and weekend outings. It goes well with your favorite dress or can be styled casually with denim. Even on days when you know you'll be doing a lot of walking, these shoes will keep your feet looking good while providing comfort. No box. There is some dirt, but it should come off easily. There is some color transfer on the inside of the shoelaces. Please check the 16th photo. There don't appear to be any scratches, but this is based on a personal assessment, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned.
