Just love this model of shoes as I almost own all the Craze models.

I was a bit apprehensive about ordering WHITE boots so I added the optional "Route Protection". When I first received the box, I was glad that I had because one end was smushed in and the lid was torn on 2 of the 4 corners. Fortunately, the boots were fine. But I tend to value the box for the boots (or shoes) at about 15-20% of the cost of the boots (or shoes) because I store my boots (and shoes) in their original boxes when I'm not wearing them. So I reached out to Pleasers about having the box replaced and . . . "the box is not covered by Route Protection". SOOOOO DISAPPOINTING!!!Admittedly, I considered RETURNING the boots and then reordering them to see if I could get a better box but . . . I love the boots too much to let them go - even if only for a little ... MoreI was a bit apprehensive about ordering WHITE boots so I added the optional "Route Protection".

I love the boots too much to let them go - even if only for a little while.Interestingly, this is actually my first pair of STRETCH patent boots as I tend to gravitate toward vegan leather, and I have to say that I will be adding MORE stretch patent boots to my collection because the STRETCH is pretty amazing. If these boots were vegan leather, I would be able to lace them tight (which I like) but because they're stretch patent, I can lace them TIGHT, and I mean EDGES TOUCHING T - I - G - H - T all the way up the boot. Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES! More please!Another nice 'feature' of this boot is the metal eyelets on the straps because although these aren't technically 'lockable' boots, the eyelets (and the spacing of the eyelets) are PERFECT for that and, honestly, are just BEGGING for locks.My one 'complaint' is that the mini wedges are almost mandatory because standing, let alone walking (or dancing) in these boots without the wedges is colossally difficult - and that's coming from someone who has 3 other pairs of heel-free shoes and boots.

Surprisingly not impossible to walk in. Exactly as expected otherwise, absolutely love them.
