Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (72)
- 1***d (2135)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent seller. FIVE STARS. Would do business with again. *****
- _***o (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseDid not get the right one
- d***f (212)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe peeling inside the shoe is serious, and the connection of the sole to the upper part on the front of the right shoe is not as good as the other side. The soles look like new, but the interior of the shoe has some issues. The article was marked as new, not as defected, but for this price it is ok - the description should have been more explicit with some pictures on the defect.
