Gray mesh trekking shoes with Vibram soles. Merrell Thermo Cross 2 25cm - Brand: Merrell - Color: Gray - Type: Trekking shoes - Material: Mesh - Sole: Vibram sole Gender...Unisex Shoe height...High cut Thank you for viewing. I purchased these new and used them for one winter season in a northern country. I think these shoes are suitable for both men and women who fit the size. A woman who usually wears a 24.5cm size found them to be a perfect fit with thick socks. There are no noticeable stains or damage, but as they are used, there may be some loose stitching, pilling, and dirt on the outsole. Please be aware of this if you are sensitive to such things. The orange spots on the outsole are for anti-slip purposes and are part of the product's specifications. Also, I replaced the shoelaces with elastic laces shortly after purchasing them. I will send them as they are, and I will also include the original shoelaces, which are new, so you can change them if you prefer. I plan to ship the shoes by attaching tape and a shipping label directly to the outer box. Instant purchase OK.
