I've been searching for a pair of blue shoes that will go with navy and when I opened the box, I thought these would be perfect.  I loved the cut outs on the sides and the way the suede covered the heels.  Unfortunately, once I had both shoes out of the box, I could see that they were mismatched.  The colour of one was much lighter than the other as if they were from different dye lots.  I tried a bit of light brushing with my fingers, but it didn't help. I wanted to exchange them for another pair, but my size was sold out, so sadly they are going back and my search continues.
