To really test the Hell out of them, I drove in my little stick shift car, walked all over town, up and down stairs and whatever else I do in a typical day with impressive results. A perfect fit!! I could not believe I did not even have a &#8220;new pair of shoe&#8221; blister!!!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9377\" title=\"Mirror\" src=\"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Mirror.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"537\" height=\"595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Mirror.jpg 537w, https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Mirror-271x300.jpg 271w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Here are my ratings:<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Appearance: 9.5.<\/strong> <\/span><br \/>\nI feel chic and very sexy in them.\u00a0 Ladies, they are great pair of work shoes for this coming season.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Quality:\u00a0 8.<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nBeing Italian-made, the quality stands with the outer and inner shoe made of leather. The sole is a nice anti-slip rubber. The heel is leather exterior but I don&#8217;t know if it is not covering a plastic core. Remember that the Italian shoe size is a size smaller then in France. For example, a French shoe size 39 equals a Italian shoe size 38.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Comfort: 8.5. <\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nHaving worn these babies for a few days, I can honestly say they are as comfortable as they are good looking.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Price:\u00a0 9.5.<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nI paid 41,70 euros for them from 139 euros.
