These shoes were purchased to wear at a wedding.  I selected these because they looked like shoes I could, and would wear elsewhere and would be more than a 1 time use type shoe.  I wore these around for a few hours before the wedding date, to make sure they would be comfortable and would not cause issues.  Upon inspection, I was very displeased to see that the painted over heels were peeling.  The underlying tan color of the heel material had become exposed.  Upon further inspection, I found that the gold paint on the inside of the shoe, was also peeling and had exposed the base underneath.  Very disappointing to see such poor quality from a shoe that I was overly excited about.  Will be returning these shoes.
