NOTE: The white area - the scuff-like area - is intentionally distressed and production stained!!! I selling almost new (worn one time) Converse sneakers, high top, black with about 2" platform and cool silver hardware buckles. I am a size 9.5 and these shoes fit me well as I wear size 8 in this brand. These shoes are comfortable and not too heavy given the platform. They make me too tall - I am 5.9/5.10 - so I don't think they are quite for me, though I was thrilled when I got them. I am selling a decent amount of my personal clothes as we are planning to move abroad in two years to a much smaller and easily manageable space. I love good quality clothes and I take care of them. Please check out my closet. I will be posting often for quite some time. Please let me know if you need more info.
