One of these shoes arrived looking mostly like the photo pictured here, except more of a light yellow undertone slightly worn and with minor discoloration near the back zipper... however, the left shoe arrived damaged. Quality control? The heel is entirely stained a shade of bright yellow that I've decided to call "elderly smoker apartment walls". It's very strange. Apparently whatever treatment the patent leather underwent caused it to turn this gross color and somebody thought "Ooops, oh well, we can just send those to Amazon." RUDE.

Also, the top strap on that wonky shoe has dark, sticky residue around the buckle. What the heck? Between the manufacturer and wherever these shoes went before coming to Amazon warehouse, nobody caught this, or cared to pull them. That's their bad, but I expect more from Amazon. We allow Amazon to charge our credit cards in good faith and they are responsible for ensuring that the products they are selling and sending out are in good condition and match the product description. If I wanted to shop for "irregular" shoes, I'd go to Big Lots.

If Amazon were selling these shoes to people in person, this pair would have never seen the floor.

So, obviously they're going back. This is the second bad experience I've had buying shoes from Amazon. Between these and all of the waiting in between paying for shoes and actually getting the shoes I have paid for, I'm realizing the hassle and lack of consistency outweighs any little bit of a deal I get from them over Nordstrom Rack, local shop sales or Zappos and the like.

Maybe your luck will be better. These shoes could have been cute and functional. The fit is good. Quality; not good.
