Very mixed review on this shoe. To start with, I'd be embarrassed to admit how many shoes I have purchased from Amazon, mainly heels but also hiking boots, trail runners and flat. I have NEVER had a problem with quality or have questioned if the item was "used". But, I bought these shoes for myself, and 5 other bridesmaids, to wear for a wedding in a month and obviously wanted them to be perfect. I honestly would have exchanged the pair if I had more time and knew I'd get them back before the date. There is a slight stain on the front of one and marks on the back of the bow on the other in a light red. Since I've never had a problem before I will let it go. But, it makes me hesitant on wanting to purchase a pair in another color. I love the look. I love the colors. They are comfortable. The bow in the back gives it a different feel. But, I would not want to be disappointed with the quality or wear again. Will update my review after I wear them all evening at the wedding.
