    Product was stolen "lost" by their shipper, why a company that charges a premium for footware would use such a complete garbage company to ship through is beyond me. read their google reviews as all the reviews on their website are obviously cherry picked. you guys 100% lost my business forever because you decided to take the cheap way out on shipping. do better
