Better off buying anything else. 11 months ago I purchased the Women's Ace embroidered sneakers for my wife. For the price point I would expect them to last longer than a year. The last thing I’d have expected is the shoes to have deteriorated as rapidly as they have after having worn then a handful of times. The leather appears to have been poorly painted and is now wearing away, leaving the shoes with a peeling appearance. Rain has also made the ink from the side stripe run down the shoe. The Gucci name on the back of the shoe has also worn away making them look like a cheap knock off (I bought these directly from a Gucci store in person). As people that love sneakers and own a lot of sneakers we had expected something better from Gucci. These do not meet basic consumer guarantee standards and having attempted to make contact 3 different ways with not a single person coming back to me I am fed up to say the least. Next time I’ll just pop my money in a paper shredder.
