I bought these brand new from Amazon (see pic with the proof of purchase ticket and tag) and have loved them. I am a size 7.5 but these 7s fit fine for the first couple years then all of the sudden these and most of my 7s in many different brands were to small, like my foot got longer in my late life. Their vibrant color is an eye catcher and gets lots of compliments. Some may want to add extra insoles to these non removable ones that were well loved. (they are not bad and no odor, just not as thick as they were)
