I bought these new and wore them for one season. I was using them alongside other shoes. They show signs of wear, but the soles aren't very worn down, and I think they can still be worn for a while⭐︎ Image 3: Since my child loves trains, there are drawings on the laces. Image 7: I scribbled out the name that was written on them. The Velcro opens wide, so it seemed easy for my child to put them on by themselves! Please understand that these are used items.
