Is a shoe deadstock if tried on?

Is a shoe deadstock if tried on? One could even argue that a shoe that’s been tried on is no longer truly “deadstock,” although for buying/selling purposes that might be going too far. Buying a pair of sneakers described as “deadstock” should net you a never-worn pair of sneakers. Period. Anything else is subjective.
