I purchased these thinking I would wear them for my wedding, and as many brides do, I changed my mind. There are a couple of tiny scuffs from being in my closet, but they've NEVER been worn more than trying on inside. Leather with arch support. There's a slight cushion for support too. Not to the level or Clark's, but a moderate cushion. The white is white. I took the photos in two different lights to show how the white will absorb the color of the lighting you're in, as white does. The main photo is closer to the real color in person. There's NO blue hue. Size 7M. There were never actual tags on these shoes, and I don't have the original shoe box, however these are brand-spanking-new.
