I am into clean line classic shoes. I owe more that 130 pairs. These are beautiful in pictures but the cheapest items when u see them. The moment you open the box u will get the displeasing Whif of cheap rubber. The shoe is out of proportion, lacks balance, and structure. Don't be fooled by the image, price or what others say. Take it from an ex ballerina and current long distance runner; these ARE THE WORST SHOES. Be careful with brands that you cannot pronounce the names and create words that are alphabetically impossible.
