These may have been worn a handful of times. Could be worn once, 5x or 10x, I can’t remember since my child has so many shoes. Only time I remember them being worn was one time for Disneyland. We bought them so my child will be comfortable walking around, that may have been the only time it was worn, but they are in perfect condition. The white side walls of the soles are perfect, doesn’t even look like they have been worn, no scuffs.
