I purchased these shoes in the silver color for a cruise.  When I removed them from the box, the bows were already creased and did not lay right.  When I looked them over, the gluing was very poorly done, glue spots on the satin straps made them look discolored and dirty.  Although they fit ok when I tried them on, I returned them because of the obviously poor craftsmanship and the discolorations caused by the glue.  I was very disappointed.
