Basically, I expected a shoe like what I see in the picture. They obviously took the picture from this angle so that you wouldn't see the structure of the HEEL of the shoe. The heel has large gray nails going through the clear plastic and are very visible (and crooked). You can also see the discolored glue that keeps the sole and clear plastic together. It's just ugly....I didn't expect them to be comfortable (which they're not) for the price I paid, but I didn't expect them to look like an ogre made them. Haha!
