Please read to ensure a smooth shopping experience. This is a quick-list item headed for an upcoming show. Most shoes are new without box or tags, purchased directly from retailers. They may have light shelf wear — like size markings, retail stickers, or minor scuffs. If there’s anything beyond that, we’ll note it. Clothing is carefully inspected as well, and any flaws that would bug us (or our picky friends) will be listed. Damaged items are posted in our WHOOPS! category — where the best bargains live if you don’t mind a small, noted flaw. I am an 8.5, sometimes 8. If I intended to wear heavier socks, I would go with the 8.5.
