I LOVE THESE SHOES! They are so unique but they have sat in my closet for a couple of years. They are literally perfect to pair with dresses/office attire, jeans. Please note that I do get soles on all my shoes by a professional cobbler. This is to protect the integrity of the leather sole so that is why it is a cream color on the forefoot area of the shoe. This can be easily removed or replaced. Basically, it extends the life of the shoes. There are minor scratches on the heels and sides of shoes from wear. These shoes are from Alessandro Michele's collection before he left Gucci! Serial Number #517109 (labeled inside of shoe). If I recall correctly, these shoes were sold mostly in the Asian markets. They were purchased at Gucci at Tyson's Corner Galleria. I unfortunately do not have a box or duster. I have not seen anyone wearing these shoes EVER. I will be VERY FIRM on the price and these will go to a very specific buyer so please refrain from low-balling. This shoes are a piece of art from a designer who is now working for Valentino.
