When I bought the shoe, there was already some discoloration of the leather. As I wore it more, I noticed it was very easy to scratch the shoe. I think it is just this lighter color that makes it more noticeable though. My friend had bought the same shoe in black patent leather, and did not experience the same issue.

Comfort wise, my friend who had recommended the shoe to me had raved about how comfortable it was. However, for me, this shoe proved too stiff. I did like the cushioned insole and the platform to help with the comfort, but overall it was not that walkable. This would be comfortable enough for the office with light walking, but certainly not for a night out dancing in my opinion.
