So there’s a story behind these booties. I’ve had them for almost 15 years.  I wore them all the time and tried my best to take care of them. When it was time for me to take them in to get a new sole and polished up, I made a mistake of going to a neighborhood shoe man. Anyhow the original buttons were falling off, so he replaced them. But unfortunately, he painted the shoes red over the original red. I could’ve died. Anyhow, I haven’t been able to let go of them for the last few years, but I also haven’t worn them. But now it’s just time to get rid of them. I would understand if no one really would want them, but they are authentic. Purchased at Neiman’s . I no longer have the receipt. It was so long ago I never thought I would depart with these. Anyhow, great deal and they will give you lots of life!
