This shoe is wonderful. Supportive, heavier and runs small. You should size up one size (I ended up going up too much). It has some scuffs but overall good condition. Solid shoe! I only wore it for 4 months but tapped every week. Separate slip pads included-never used. Description from brand: Bloch's professional tap shoe designed with tap icon Jason Samuels Smith. Leather upper lined with Kashmir to reduce moisture. Double hard leather outsole with triple stacked heel. Steel resonance plates between tap and outsole create optimum depth and pitch of sound. Specially developed metal bonding procedures ensure that screws will not loosen without modification. Heel measures 1.5".
