This is the second pair of Maria Sharapova shoes and I am disappointed with this product. I would love to return them and get my money back.  After having them only a few months the soles (the hard part) have chipped so badly. It looks like I've walked on stones and used them for climbing -- which I have not.  The black leather has faded at the toes. The shoes look like I've owned them for years and I've only had them for 4 months. They are still comfortable but their appearance after four months is just awful. I wish I had purchased these from Nordstrom (like my first pair--which by the way still look great and the leather does not look at all tattered) where I can return anything at anytime.
