These shoes made by the German Company Think! were purchased in Europe in 2023. They are a high quality leather and suede shoe with a very comfortable fit and unique deisgn. The Think! brand stands for high quality shoes!!! (shoes like tis can be found at places like The Cobbler, Footloose shoes) They were only worn once to find out the incorrect size had been put in the box.....and i cannot return them :-)
