Gave this as a gift to my wife. They look like a good running shoe. Light and attractive, except...the black speckles all over the lower inside of both shoes. I saw this on some other reviews, but felt sure it was just a one time thing. For there to be no QC with this is a little concerning. For there to be reviews pointing this problem out, and they continue to ship with this flaw is just careless at least, and intentionally misleading, at worst. We sent them back, but I can't help but thinking they ship these flawed shoes out, hoping most won't bother returning them. Shoes are potentially nice without black splatter.
