Purchased at Isetan several years ago. The white appearance on the sole is due to the jute material and is not a defect or due to deterioration. I usually wear 26cm, but I bought a slightly larger size to wear with socks. I wore them once and then stored them, so I hope those who understand home storage will consider purchasing. Color: Brown系 (Brown-based) Size: 41 Stains: There are small scratches. Please refer to photo 3. Tears/Smell: None
