Love the shoes. However, the small "beads" fell off as they were already glued in place. I didn't notice any glue when I first got them, but when I looked at the shoes in certain lighting I could see that there were squares of glue around the edges. When I looked closely, some of the squares disappeared. So at $48 I didn't think they were worth keeping, I'd rather find another style of shoe or maybe order a 'new' one. Shoes. Dissatisfied.
