I purchased these at a NIKE store last month. I've worn them a few times, but I have too many similar items, so I'm selling them. This type is a trendy thong sandal this year and can be worn by anyone. They go well with any outfit, and just by wearing them, you can create a fashionable look. I don't see any noticeable scratches, but they are used items, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to this. ☺︎
