I would have been a much happier camper had these shoes, coming from China, been shipped in a box. They were sent in a plastic envelope, albeit well padded, from China in an envelope. To make matters worse it looks to me like there is blood on both shoes in the same spot across the white stitching. Bottom of right shoe has black scuffs, as if they have been walked around in. I gave 2 stars because otherwise they are sturdy and true to color (I got red). Would not buy again.
