I purchased these on the Repetto online store. I had the soles reinforced at a shoe specialty store. I've worn them about twice, but I don't have many opportunities to wear them, so I'm selling them. They are soft and easy to wear. I will ship them in the original box. These are flat ballet shoes perfect for daily wear. Made with a brushed material reminiscent of corduroy, they are a warm pair perfect for autumn and winter styles. The leopard print is expressed with a dot pattern, creating a soft mood. The letter "r" is subtly incorporated within the pattern.
