When I initially received my purchase, I loved it as soon as I opened the box. The leather, color, and how it was stitched was so beautiful. Too bad I ordered the wrong size but their customer service was very responsive and understanding about the return and exchange of item to a bigger size. I wore it to work and my toes never felt pain which I often feel when I wear shoes I bought from international brands like Aldo. The only not so positive thing is that my right achilles turned red after 15 hours of wearing them (not bad naman!). But overall I love my Rob & Maria pair!
