"I need some silver shoes for an upcoming wedding. I was very excited when I found these, as they are cute and special looking. When these shoes arrived, I was happy with their style, but a little disappointed in the quality. Around the heel area, the fabric looks a little ragged, and there are some darker splotches around (not easily visible unless you're looking very closely). I actually thought that the shoe was perhaps already been worn, but the soles and the foot bed appear to be new. My conclusion is that the shoe is poorly made and the splotches are stray glue that got a little messy during the assembly process. The shoes are cute, and I need them, so I'm going to keep them, the quality is slightly annoying but it's not bad enough for me to return them. I ordered the grey color and the color is consistent with how it appears on the site."
