The Seconds Sale!

We're moving warehouse and took notice of all the samples and B-grade pairs we had. That inspired us to do the Seconds Sale! (Check it here: Seconds Sale on Vinted ) Were offering the Factory Seconds or B-grade shoes and some single remaining sizes in the seconds sale. So what are Factory Seconds or B-grades you might ask?..Well let us explain:   Factory Seconds or B-grades: These are shoes that have small blemishes.
