These are flawed gems. There is a tear in the outer suede fabric on the right footed shoe but the black inner silk liner of the shoe covers your leg still so it is not fully see through when worn. They are split in half to be half suede and half leather. Very cool and classy. I don’t know how the tear happened. See photos before purchasing. Still in good condition otherwise and barely noticeable when on. Snug fit for a size 9. A US 8.5 would be ideal.
