These shoes are gorgeous!!!  I needed shoes to wear with a black orchid suit and when I saw that one reviewer described the navy as being more of purple, I decided to order that color.  She was absolutely correct, and that is the color I needed.  I didn't have a problem with them not being genuine suede because most shoes/handbags these days are man-made.  The jeweled ornament on the vamp adds a very nice touch and is more purple than navy.  I am so happy that I ordered these shoes, and plan to come back for another color.  Almost forgot!!!  The price was great!  When I researched other stores for the same shoe, the price was much higher.  Thanks Amazon!!!
