Purchased at H BEAUTY&YOUTH. The soles have already been reinforced. Photos 2 and 3 are reference pictures of how they look when worn. These white sandals give a very clean impression. I wore them for one season. I haven't worn them in years and have taken good care of them. I also have the pattern in the second photo, and I'm selling these because I have too many shoes. I can't remember what the pink stain is from. I usually wear a size 37, but because my big toe is long, I wear a 37.5 in Maison Margiela Tabi boots and these sandals. They fit perfectly.
