No visible signs of wear or nicks! I overestimated my willingness to wear a heel like this at 58!! There are no rough places or nicks anywhere. Worn once. In fact, the price tag is still stuck to the bottom- though the info is rubbed off. They’re beautiful. I give up! My feet plus covid 20 win! 3” heels. Buy them and show them the good times they deserve. I’m not in a mood to be low balled though! So keep that in mind.
