I bought these about 20 years ago and loved them. The box shows that they cost 29,800 yen at the time of purchase. About 10 years ago, my bunions got really bad, as you can see in the photos. The bone on the outside of my big toe would rub, and after walking for about an hour, the pain became unbearable! I loved these shoes and took good care of them, storing them carefully. I still have the original box and inner bag. The soles have some heel wear, but there are no scratches on the leather of the shoes. I hope you'll love wearing them. Thank you for your consideration.
