It pains me to let go of these. I thought these were so gorgeous! Brand New still in box with everything Fluevog sends you including the Twizzlers! These run a little small so I cannot wear them. That is why I marked these as a women's 6.5 when the size on the shoe is listed as a women's 6/men's and children's 4. All leather and of course excellent craftsmanship that is Fluevog. The "X" on the shoe is either gold or silver depending on how the light hits it although the box marks it as gold.
