I have these shoes in hot pink. These shoes look so good in the picture. When my shoes arrived they were specks of dirt, the material looked old and worn out and the thread was coming a loose at the top. NYLA had the nerve to put a note in the box stating that the shoe material may look damaged and worn out, but that's the way the shoe is supposed to look. Really?? I'm a shoe guru, and in my years of buying shoes I have never see this type of material look this way. They're lucky my size was sold out because they would have been returned in a jiffy...
