text: I have to say how incredibly disappointed I was upon receiving these shoes. I have owned the same pair in black for over two years and recently decided to replace them because of overall wear. I was so excited to have found them on Amazon.<br /><br />Upon opening the box, I could immediately tell these were a pair of factory rejects. The sewing on the large top strap of the shoes was bubbling, instead of laying flat. The top strap was also completely oversized on the left foot, so much so that there was an extra inch+ of material not touching my foot, while the right foot seemed the right size, it also had the same bubbled leather effect. The toe straps also felt too tight on both shoes. The packaging also seemed off to me -- these are being sold in &#34;new&#34; condition but looked as though they had been re-packaged. Needless to say, I'm returning them and going to buy this same pair of shoes from planet shoes for $99. Save yourself the hassle of driving to a UPS store and don't purchase these shoes here.<br /><br />I can positively make these observations having owned this same pair of shoes for two years.
