These are lightly worn sneakers that I purchased for a trip to Europe. I wore them for a couple of days with dresses. They are in excellent condition, with all tread intact. I will note that they are a true 9, but because of the slight point of the toe, the shoe narrows and cramped my toes a bit. I wished I had tried a half size up. If your foot is narrow, you should be fine with the 9.
