Was very disappointed when I received these shoes because they did not match the photo.  While it was a similar shoe, it was not the same one at all.  The stars and bars on the bottom were not there.  Instead, the bottom was just a flat bottom.  It was a black shoe and that was the only similarity between what arrived and what is pictured.  Plus, it did not even come in a Steve Madden box.  A few days later, I did see this show at a popular shoe chain.  I did not buy them because they had that typical Steve Madden chemical smell that accompanies his Oxfords. It was very off putting.  Too bad, because it is a beautiful shoe.
