I bought these in NYC and wore them around SoHo, and I adore them. But I found another pair of SW in the same perfect color so now I am just making room for more!! This particular color is sold out everywhere, and mine are in mint condition. There are no scuffs or stains. There is obvious signs of wear on the bottom of the shoe, but I look at it as proof that they are a very wearable platform sandal!!
