Review on Mini Melissa Ultragirl Mermaid Toddler by Kim Sanchez

The straps on the shoes look quite unusual due to the strange orientation. I researched online before buying them and none of the photos I saw showed the band alignment this way. Also, the shoes didn't come in a mini Melissa shoe box, which makes me wonder if the shoes are real. Let me know if anyone has experienced the same or if this is the correct band alignment.
