I recently bought another pair of shoes from Amazon and remarked in my review not only the quality of the shoes, but the condition. Usually, in a B&M store, the shoes get tried on before I get there, and I open a battered box with tissue scattered, laces askew and little sock ball remnants clinging to the shoe interior. I thought it would be even worse from an online purchase, along with the added worry that they may not fit properly. Well...
Not so here. Shoes arrive in immaculate condition. These were new, new. Just like the previous pair. Virgin snow.

I already owned a pair of these in black and knew the quality ( I also purchased then in a brand name store that charged the same price on the return rack that these cost new at Amazon- so a true bargain), and the shoes are rugged, well soled, top quality leather, and i will be buying from Amazon instead of the local B&M from now on.

Update 6/16/13...Again, my comments were about these shoes when they were 20% less than the current cento pesos. Seems that when people write a bunch of good reviews they jack up the price. I may stop writing reviews.
