They were a little scuffed on the toe, and when I tried them on I remember thinking 'WOW, I can nearly fit them!' lol, I couldnt though, and proceeded to stuff the toes with toilet paper and prance around my bedroom pretending I was like one of my Barbie dolls. I will never forget how womanly, grown up and business like I felt, hence my obsession with the 'heel' began.
