text: Love the look of the shoe but am SO DISAPPOINTED in the performance. When I took them out of the box I noticed some marks on the platforms of the shoes which is covered with leather. The 1st time I wore them, there were more marks on the platforms of the shoes. After the 2nd time of wearing them, they looked several years old. I do not scuff or scratch up my shoes. I work in an office and make every effort to keep my shoes looking good as new. I even keep all my shoes in their box in my closet. For the $200 price, these certainly look awful. I would love to return them but know no one would take them back in the condition they are in. Just a big let down on a big purchase.
