I bought these used but never wore them; the footbed is in good condition and the printing on the footbed is still clear. Please note that I glued (with shoe glue) heel protector plates to the bottoms (seen in photos) even though I never ended up wearing them. (I do this to all my shoes before I wear them to prevent the heels from wearing down. I replace them periodically as they wear down.) You can leave the protectors on or pull them off with pliers. Note that these are a Birkenstock “narrow” footbed, which fits a narrow to medium width foot.
