I purchased these shoes as a christmas gift for someone i know, unfortunately they ran a little bigger than expectedso i had to return them. However, since they were a christmas present i still wanted that person to have these shoes so i went out to a different retailer near me and purchased the same shoes in a different size. The quality of these "online" shoes truly surpassed that of the ones i went out and bought. i wish they had fit! These were a better quality leather and the shoe was a nice bright white color compared to the ones i got after which were an off white-ish tone. i highly recommend these shoes!!
