These shoes have been worn 3 times. It may not like it, but the proof is in the picture. I haven't cleaned them one time or added any passive cleaning techniques. What you see is what you get. They're retail price is $130, and they still have held that price a couple months later after purchasing them. I want $60 for them, and if you want me to clean them, I would like $70. I've gotten compliments on these shoes, and also received some negative feedback from friends. The good outweighs the bad 10 fold, though.
