I was a little worried about how these may arrive based on the other review, but I ordered them anyway.  They look exactly as pictured. The pair I recieved look great, I searched them over looking for any of defects or damage as reported in the review I read.  None of it was present, the suede and seams are perfect with no scuffs, the sweater tops are knitted well and the wooden wedge looked great. The only thing I find funny is they are stated as taupe, but in the picture and in person, I would call them more of a milk chocolate color. I am very happy with them and think they will be fun to wear.
