I purchased these shoes just before the holidays, also buying a navy blue pair.  The navy pair were fine, BUT the black pair were not.  The inside of the heels on these shoes was very poorly made; there is jaggedly cut leather that digs into the inside of the heel.  I contacted the seller:  Peltz Shoes in the hope of returning them, but the 30 days had passed, rushing by like the holidays had.  I cannot wear them, but they are brand new, still have the tissue covering the bow!  Peltz's solution was to tell me to "take a picture of the defects" and send it to them; it was as if I was lying about the defects.  From now on, I will NOT order any shoes from this seller because of their total disregard for workmanship and customer satisfaction.  I am stuck with defective shoes and no recourse for resolving the problem, not even an exchange.
