I ordered this one in the black velvet...beautiful, and packaged in nice protective fabric sleeves.  The velvet is actually fairly plush, and I can imagine it would be easily scuffed up after a few wearings.  The construction is typical Pleaser...good enough for play, or occasional evenings out in dimly lit clubs, and at this price, thats all you should expect. In larger sizes, it actually seemed to run a half-size bigger than expected...sizing can be a bit iffy with this class of footwear, so be forewarned.  Overall, its a great value.
