The wait was 100% worth it! I couldnβt love my new shoes moreβthey are the highest quality relative to the price Iβve ever seen in the U.S. On top of that, the way they were packaged was a beautiful and elegant touch. They came wrapped in a nice blue paper bag and sturdy box, with individual fabric bags for each shoe, a long shoehorn, and a cloth to keep them clean. Iβll definitely be buying another pair!
