I trust Nine West shoes because I've yet to buy a pair on Amazon that wasn't as described. That said - these are everything I hoped they'd be - great fit, good leather and well-made. The platform around the toe balances heel height so these are comfortable to walk in and wear for long periods. I love the croc leather style that makes this peep toe unique + purchased this beautiful pump from amazon at a better than sale price bargain. Although I hesitated at first to purchase from the "Used" - tried on but not worn" category, this pair looks brand new and shipping was first class. Perfect!
