These shoes are absolutely gorgeous. I tried wearing them but sadly I need a 10. I can just picture myself leaving the house and becoming crippled the more I walked. Lol. I don’t know designed - no visible marking but they are awesome quality. Just worn around the house. They are 2 to 2-5 high not flat. Excellent like new condition. Check out pics. The rich brown color is beautiful. I can’t use them so grad this steal of a deal.
