This is more about the shipment

I just received my order and am appalled at the quality of this shipment. The shoebox is falling apart, the sole in one of the shoes is out and the tissue is torn apart. Can’t believe this is from Nordstrom. Returning this asap.

Not comfortable for my feet

These shoes looks nice, but they are uncomfortable to walk in. There's not enough cushioning in the footbed and my heal seems to slip up the back of the shoe. I'm returning them.🥺

Huge New Balance Fan

Was searching for Miu Miu X New Balance collab sneakers, and came upon this RC42 by New Balance. Looks like the Miu Miu $1100 nylon sneakers but costs 1/10 of the price. A huge fan of New Balance sneakers; super light, comfy, and classic. Bought these and arrived today. Fits very comfortable, slightly on the roomy side but I will just wear thicker socks. LOVE!

Awesome NB Shoe

I was surprised by this NB shoe. It is totally adorable and great for walking. Beyond comfortable and makes the foot look smaller. I like the styling and it is great for a casual or business office look.
