there are dirty marks on the front of the shoe and the colour is fading and I have attempted to clean the shoe and the white stuff you see on the bottom of the shoe is cleaning supplies and will be washed off before you buy them they are a little bit old but mostly taken care of they were my friends old shoes that he gave to me before he moved and if you give them a good clean with shoe cleaner and a little bit of nail polish remover then you should be all good to go :)
