I bought these for a cosplay (Lilith Aensland). I haven't quite started making it quite yet, but even if I don't get a chance to, I'm still going to wear them. They fit perfect and they are vibrant in color (red). The packaging is iffy. It's just the shoebox wrapped in brown paper. the box can get a little damaged around the corners, but the shoes are well protected (individaully wrapped in plastic and paper). They're so cute!
