I think it was the year before last? Or the year before that? I bought these online, but I got the wrong size and color. I clicked to buy different sandals, and these were also included in the purchase screen, and I didn't notice. When I realized it, they had already arrived in a box. I wanted to exchange them, but they didn't have my size, and the other colors were already sold out. A friend wanted them, so I gave them away, but they were uncomfortable, and they were returned to me. They've been in the shoe rack ever since. I will pack them in bubble wrap and a paper bag for shipping. By the way, I'm not sure if they're for men or women. I wiped them down overall with alcohol wipes! Please be sure to comment before purchasing. I am also listing them on another site. The sticker on the bottom of the sandals has come off. My husband, who wears a size 28, tried them on, and they were too tight, so they are not a size 28. There are stains, tears, and odors... Please understand that I cannot fix the peeling fabric in the images.
