I love the style of these shoes -- the gold cap toe, the asymmetrical vamp, and who doesn't love suede this time of year?! Some issues with them, though. This is now my second pair of Dolce Vita pumps to arrive with strings of glue all over and visible glue at the connecting points. It looks so cheap! Secondly I was worried about the gold cap toe on these scratching easily and sure enough when I opened the box one of them already had a huge scuff in the metal. The heel is a little lower than I expected but makes these a more wearable for work/daytime. I usually wear a 9.5 in DV pumps but needed a 9 in these. I am on the fence with these. At this price I was hoping for higher quality but if you don't look too close they look great and are very comfortable.
