I just thrifted them, so I don’t know how old they are - but Carolina still makes this model, so probably not more than a few yearsv old. The heels are VERY worn, so I’ll have my cobbler fix that.

But the uppers are incredibly nice. The leather was pretty dry, so I oiled them a bit, and they softened up quite nicely. They’re pretty comfy.

Living wages in exchange for work.

Yes, it sold in much smaller quantities than a lot of those other devices.

Also, the 2DS shells were designed to be more durable. So it’s pretty common for the screen or electronics to die, but the shell to be perfectly serviceable for reuse.
