“The shoes are absolutely beautiful. I believe they are made in Portugal, where standards in garment making and leather work are exceptionally high.
The loss of one star comes only from something you might say is my fault. I applied a protective spray (I thought in accordance with Lanx’s suggestion) and it has sat like stains of spilt mayonnaise on the surface of the formerly perfect suede upper. So I have actually never worn the shoes, they sit in a corner waiting for me to build up enough courage to try to deal with the stains.”
