Carefully hand-washed, disinfected, and deodorized. I purchased these here and used them for about six months, rotating between three pairs, so they're not too dirty. They show signs of wear, but there are no rips, and the Velcro is still strong. Please check the photos for the condition of each pair. *The white VANS have a low instep, so my child with a high instep outgrew them quickly.
