These shoes have only been very gently worn a few times. The ONLY sign of wear is on the soles. There is a little smoothing on the tread near the heels. It's very slight. Besides that they're perfect! You wouldn't know they weren't brand new if you weren't staring the soles down. They feature Cushion Soft technology with an OrthoLite footbed that ensures shock absorption, breathability, and moisture-wicking comfort!
