VANELi is renowned for beautiful, stylish shoes and excellent quality. My experience has been that comfort isn't usually their forte, but this pair is very comfortable!! I have also found that VANELi sizing is very consistent from style to style and their shoes are durable & wear well. I bought these new and wore them 1-2 times. I found them to be beautiful and very comfortable, but I just have too many shoes so they've been in the back of my closet.
· These shoes have only very slight signs of wear and can enhance your wardrobe at a much lower cost than buying retail. ($90 when I purchased them.)
· Rainbow leather boasts shades of blue/turquoise/green, pink/fushia, and yellow/orange for splashes of color that will brighten up any outfit. I have posted pictures that represent the colors accurately compared to how they look to me in person. However, perceptions can differ! I have noticed that monitor differences and/or human expectations might result in color being perceived differently than I intend. So if you are picky about color or are looking for a specific color, please contact me and I will be glad to share any additional information you might want to help you figure out if these colors will meet your requirements.
· Hook & loop straps across the toes and at the ankle are fully adjustable for a custom fit. Since these shoes have barely been worn, the Velcro is in excellent condition. Elastic at the inner ankle adds flexibility for greater comfort, and it is in mint condition.
· The cushioned, cork footbed is very comfortable and cool. It is in great condition with no staining or discoloration. There is extra cushioning at the heel (see pic # 9) and the platform adds padding under the ball of the foot as well.
· The straps across are accented with studs / nail heads for a bit of glamour.
· The cork wedge heel & platform are lightweight and shock-absorbing. The cork has an irregular appearance, which is normal for this material and not due to wear or defects.
· The outer sole has some light scuffing, and very slight wear on the corners of the heels. (Please examine pics)
· The versatile style and colors allow for these shoes be dressed up or down. Imagine yourself wearing them with a dressy dress at a wedding (and for once your feet don't hurt at the reception because they are so comfy!) or with capris and your favorite top out to lunch with that special someone.
***Please review the measurements*** in the pictures to determine whether the fit will be right for you. I do my very best to measure accurately and provide pictures of exactly how I measured so that there will be no surprises for you, the buyer. But alas, it is not an exact science, so please consider the measurements to be approximate.
Shoes that don't have a box are shipped in a padded envelope, carefully wrapped to protect them. This keeps shipping costs lower for you. If you would prefer a box, please let me know and I will re-calculate the shipping cost for you. (It won't be the original box.)
Thank you for your business! My goal is to provide you with a purchase you're very happy with. I inspect everything I sell carefully, and do my best to describe them thoroughly. If I miss something, please contact me right away and I will work with you to make it right. Best wishes to you and yours!
