These are authentic Balenciaga flats but have some flaws from wear. They are missing 2 studs on one shoe. The soles have been replaced with rubber soles, covering the size. They fit like a true 7. They are extremely comfortable and have that great quality leather that Balenciaga is known for. As originally an expensive item, I am asking for a minimal cost for these because of the wear. You can't see it when the shoes are on and they feel no different than they did on day one. :)
