I have bought the la1022 for my girl friend as now it seems they are really a poor quality,the toes are no longer covered with that dark silky strip and the material is really cheap and does not even feel smooth or silky. They actally feel rough to be honest.they either changed vendors or cut cost to make them cheaper and boy did they. WE will be looking for something else from now on,what a shame as was a great product as they were silky,and darker then the other brands and would stretch better as well. Don't buy the la1022's anymore you will be disappointed unless you get old stock.
