text: The shoe fits well and is a very pretty style; the Flax style is my favorite and I have several pairs. However, I was extremely disappointed with the packaging...my shoes arrived in their shoebox instead of being placed in a separate box for shipping. The box was very beat up and absolutely filthy by the time it arrived, and the tape made the box sticky and gross. This is frustrating for me because I keep my shoes in their boxes and I have never received any pair of shoes in this manner. Also, the shoes weren't wrapped/stuffed and the very tips of the pointed toe appeared to be a little worn. This could be because of the lace material of the shoe, but I admit it made me hesitate; the bottom of the shoes do not at all appear worn. I chose to keep them because my only real complaint is with the poor packaging, which made me feel like the seller didn't care how their product would look upon arrival.
