New Without Box?

I just received a pair of New Balance shoes that I purchased here on okay. They were described as New, without box. The item was described as having a little paint on the bottom soles, which is of no concern to me. Otherwise, the listing read, they were in great shape. Upon receiving them, I find them dirty on the inside with spots and scuffs on the outside as well. New without box is hardly the case. I should have known: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Request more photos! That is the advice I have for anything that might be questionable!
