I purchased these for my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. They were worn once, and while I don't see any scratches to the untrained eye, there's a sort of cloudiness that I'm afraid to polish away, so I've left it as is. The soles are somewhat dirty. I threw away the box, and I don't know the brand name. I don't remember the purchase price either. When listing these, I tried them on. I'm a size 23.5cm, and they felt neither tight nor loose, just right. They have a gorgeous and lovely design. Please understand that these have been in someone's possession before, and I ask that you purchase them with that in mind.
