I originally bought these around 2008-ish and since they have become very well-loved, traveled and seen many dance parties/raves! These shoes are very broken in and super comfortable. Sometimes you can still find these online $150-300, in various states of vintage-worn or new. Originally these shoes had a mint-green toe, but it started wrinkling/creasing and rubbing off, so I had it removed and covered with permanent, thick coating of green-blue glitter that has stood the test of time. That is why my price is lower, because theta is no longer original, but it looks even cooler than before in my opinion!
