For me, the shoes arrived although repackaged, but with minor crushing and paint Schlierf old. Whether that was now at Amazon or at Buffalo, I can not judge. In addition, the shoe is okay, well made and quite comfortable at first glance. He sees (except for the paint streaks that you see only direct light, which he will get anyway after some wear and I have to keep him so well rather than be replaced; I have bought it in the final sale for under 30, so I'm so indulgent) chic and fits very well with costumes, dark trouser suits and fashion occasion.
