To say these shoes have an original MSRP of $279.00 is like me saying I have an exotic Italian super car that retails for $800,000 but will discount it to $150,000 then you realize it's really just an old YUGO (worth $300 at best).  These shoes are a joke!  The name makes you believe they are Italian. They also state &#34;Ultra Soft Itialian Leather Upper&#34; to even more persuade you; however, notice in the pictures below of the bottoms with a sticker &#34;Made In India&#34;.  Not only is the quality of construction a joke as apparent in the picture of the &#34;just opened&#34; and &#34;never worn&#34; shoe that depicts the inner part of the shoe that has become unglued, but the entire shoe and materials is nothing short of crap when comparing them to the original MSRP of $279. This, my friends, is a marketing scam at best to make you believe you are really getting a great deal. Problem is, even at $69.95, these shoes are still far from worth it!!  The other pictures show a side view of how the left and right shoe are different in size. The last picture shows a true Italian shoe size 10.5 lined up and next to the Indian 10.5. Notice how far off in size they really are. I would say the 10.5 is really a 9.5.  If you are looking for a quality shoe these fall very short in every category. If you are looking for an expensive chew toy for you dog, this may be it. If the second, please cut off the cheap metal label prior to giving to Rover.
