• able: Shoes must be safe to wear without risk of injury.

• Not Broken: Soles must be intact, with no holes, detached parts, or other damage.

• At Least 80% New: Light signs of wear (creases, mild dirt) are fine, as long as the shoes can be cleaned and refurbished to around 90% new.

• Complete Pairs: Both the left and right shoes must be present and match.

• Hygienic: No severe odor, mold, or other cleanliness issues.

• No more than three years old.
