I haven't seen this shoe for some 33 years! So cute & in great shape. Elastic shows very little wear/stretching - no wrinkling to note. Size is based off measurement of base and what would likely be comfortable. Possibly also an 8.5/users preference - see photo. A couple small spots noted to upper as well as some black transfer from foam base. I used water on the small spots and it didn't lessen their appearance. Photos act as part of the description. Please reach out if you have any questions. Check out my other listings & maximize shipping. Thanks for looking!
