I've had these shoes for a while now and this is my first pair of pumps. They were sold from storage as "used" because they had two scuffs on the top. Of course I can't complain at all! The outsole offers good grip and absorbs moisture, making them comfortable to wear. I deducted a star because they are not optimal for my feet (they may need a little longer to break in). I have a relatively high bone on the top of my foot that hurts a lot at the end of the day due to the tongue and laces putting a lot of pressure on me. Maybe it's just my feet that don't match the shoes perfectly, but I think it's worth considering for future buyers.
