I ordered these shoes needing a plain comfortable pair of black flats/loafers. The order was placed on November 28th, and I received them by USPS today!  First, the packaging was impeccable.  The paper and stuffing inside the shoe box was neat and clean.  Second, the shoes were in excellent condition, and THEN I tried them on!!!  Wow!!! Straight out of the box, these shoes felt wonderful!  I wear and ordered a size 8, which was a perfect fit. Very, very comfortable.  Can't wait to wear them out. You might think $57.00 is a little pricey for a pair of plain black shoes, but I will pay that and more for quality and comfort.  Great shoes!!!!
