These slip-on zori-style shoes were purchased from Catherine Cottage. They were only worn for a short time during my 3-year-old daughter's Shichi-Go-San (ceremony). They have a band, so they don't slip off easily, and my daughter was running around, so I think they were comfortable. There are no major stains, but they have been worn outside by a child, so please understand. I threw away the box, so they will be shipped in a different shoe box.
