It may be hard to believe, but I still have these shoes. They are still fantabulous, but they are mostly worn out. I keep wearing them because I love them so much, haven't been able to find a replacement and can't find it in me to throw them away. And in the last two years, I have gotten compliments on them from people I generally don't interact with while walking on my floor, obviously, but also while going down the stairs to the lobby. If that's not a sure sign that these shoes are not ready to go, I don't know what is.
