These shoes were discounted, under Today's Deal, and then down under "open boxes" or something like that.  They were brand new, boxed, and perfect.  Madden always fits my foot.  Plus, these are the perfect color to blend into the leg, and make my legs look longer.  Great color, goes with everything, and lately I am seeing the "nude" shoe with everything from the LBD -- to bright, long skirts.
