I purchased these shoes about 20 years ago, used. My father also owned Kissa shoes, and I knew they were high-end shoes, easily exceeding 50,000 yen even back then, which is why I bought them. The leather of the uppers is indeed smoother than some of the older, high-end English shoes I own. I also like the visual of the Goodyear welt stitching being close to the edge of the sole. There are no noticeable scratches on the uppers. The soles have had the worn toes built up and half-soles attached. I haven't worn them much since then, so there is no wear. For the heels, if you are concerned, please replace the entire lift or just the rubber. The elastic in the straps has stretched very little, so replacement shouldn't be necessary for a while. The size is 24.5 EE, and because of the width, they would probably fit someone who usually wears a 25cm. They are slightly large on me, and I usually wear 24.5cm. The outsole length is 28cm, and the maximum width is 10.5cm. This is a garage sale by an amateur, so please understand that we cannot accept claims or returns.
