I got the shoes way earlier than i've expected, that's a 1st plus.

The box was nicely and needly packed in a bigger box w/ some bouble (big ones) to protect the inner box. Therefore, shoes box was in a great shape as I hoped to see since they will be my sister's BD present. That's another plus.

The shoes though, were a bit goldish that I am now afraid that my sister will not like it as much as I wish, we've have to see about that. The size runs a bit big, I assuming about 1/2 to one size larger. I'm a size 7 1/2 to 8 but it fits me pretty good. My sister is supposedly a size 7 to 7 1/2. So, I hope they fit her and I''m just being paranoid. We'll also see about that. If it doesn't fit her, I might keep it because I've tried them and they are comfy.
