These shoes were sent with so much packaging that I actually took a photo to send to the seller and Skechers to chastise them about their lack of environmental responsibility .  Tissue in the toe tips, tissue covering the shoes, cardboard in the heals, box in a box, cradled by plastic pillows.  Really?  Really!?  One box  and one box alone would have sufficed.  Not willing to kill the earth to get some shoes.  Might not purchase these again (and I LOVE these shoes) for environmental reasons alone.  Seriously.
