"I fell in love with these shoes and finally bought them hoping to wear them with a pair of purple jeans that I have. While I do like them, I was a little disappointed that the colors were not quite as pictured. They are definitely brighter, and I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong until I came back and looked at the pic again. Online the patent part of the shoe (platform and inner detail) is more of a periwinkle/blue-ish color. On the ones I received that area is a purple-ish pink. I think the color I have clashes with the rest of the shoe moreso than the color shown here. It was almost a deal-breaker, but I decided to keep them as the are pretty, just not what I was expecting. And they didn't go with my jeans, but I'll deal with it."
