I ordered these as one of my birthday gifts and when it arrived the shoes box had not outer protective box like all my other shoe orders have, so the Box was all banged up and squished, as a result there were pink stains from the pink color paper the shoes were wrapped in - no I couldn't rub the pink off.

The semi vertical decorative stitched lines going up the shoes were longer than the horizontal leather that went across the foot causing an ill-fitting loose look. I wore it one day I sat down mostly, the leather wasn't comfy and I noticed the next day when I was gonna test them for walking that there was a thread sticking out the front, on closer examination I found the stitching for the leather where the toes went had come undone.

Bottom line, I had high hopes for these shoes but was terribly disappointed in the poor quality, ill-fitting design and overall bad experience I had with this shoe.
I wouldn't recommend them to a friend or foe.
