Some people say things are gently worn & they’re worn the death. These are definitely worn, but before the point of worn to death. Signs of wear are mostly at the bottom front. Very comfortable shoes. I’m selling because I don’t really wear them and I’m looking to downsize my shoe collection. If you’re looking to try out a Minnie from Tory Burch, I suggest starting with this shoe. It’s like walking on pillows. Box and dust bag included. Feel free to bring them back to life a bit with leather lotion. If you’re in between 8.5 & 9, these are for you! Serious inquiries only!
