I've been using these for about a month. I used different insoles, so the ones that came with the shoes are brand new and unused. I don't think the soles are particularly worn down. Since I'm right-handed, the inside of the left toe is slightly scuffed, and there's some blue staining on the eyelets. The shoelaces aren't particularly dirty, but they have been used, so I'll include them if you want them (they're blue). Yonex Badminton 65z 28cm 3E
