I think this style had 1-2 years on the market. Similar style to the Gucci Princeton Mules but it has a handy elastic strap to help keep on your foot. Vibram sole on forefoot, which I put on all my leather bottom shoes. This can easily be removed or reapplied for longer life. Some scuffs from wear but overall in a good condition. Again, take them to a cobbler, get them spiffed up and you have a great pair of comfortable shoes! Made in Italy - please see picture of sole.
