These are quite sturdy well made shoes by Wild Fable for Target. The sole is ultra thick to give a lot of shock absorption and an inch of lift. The upper is double stitched in places and padded around the ankle for comfort. The material is ventilated on the sides and top so that cool air can circulate around your feet. Not thickly padded, the insole is cushioned.I love the mostly white with black round shoe laces. It's the only place where a little accent of another color shows up. I also like the fact that these sneakers have a unisex design and this size 11 women's shoe could be also worn by a man, about size 9 to 9.5.I have disclosed pictures of the small, barely noticeable glue residue and faint scuff marks on the sole from trying them on at the store and from shipping. I have given you an extra discount for these mostly curable flaws. Most of the marks will come off (in fact the shoes are cleaner than the pictures since I removed some of the glue residue afterwards). We buy these as new, check them for defects and dirt, fully disclose that information to the buyer, and sell them on Ebay. I'm pretty sure that these shoes will look brand new and feel brand new. They are white, so that gets dirty fast. You can probably benefit from white liquid shoe polish to keep them sparkling white.The pair weighs almost 2 lbs and will cost me extra to ship in the 3 lb priority shipping rate, so please keep that in mind when comparing prices. Make sure that this is the size that you want. Please, let's not have a sizing return. You can use my listing info and pictures to re-sell them if they don't fit. This way we all save wasteful return shipping, next customer gets it, you get paid, and everyone wins! Thank you for helping me keep my prices low. And Thank you for your order(s).
