These are awesome 🖤 They have been loved and it is only obvious in the ways shown in photos. There are clear silicone gel heel cushions which cannot be removed without taking some of the fabric with them, so I have left them in. Otherwise, the only real sign or wear is on the edges of the lining -- all shown in photos. This doesn't effect the wearability of the shoes & in fact I only noticed it while taking photos for listing 😂. US M7 should be a US W8.5, but it is my opinion that these run large & fit more like a US W9. I hope these find a new home!💫
