The wait was 100% worth it! I couldn’t love my new shoes more—they are the highest quality relative to the price I’ve 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. I’ll definitely be buying another pair!
