I purchased these at Takashimaya in Kanagawa Prefecture. I've only worn them a few times, so there's hardly any stiffness in the fabric, deterioration, or signs of wear. However, the soles are rubber, so there is some dirt. They are lightweight and very easy to walk in. The beige color makes them easy to match, and they have a ribbon accent. Measurements (approximate): Heel height: 5.5 cm Width: 8 cm I've worn them a few times and stored them at home. Please understand and accept them as they are. Thank you.
