Purchased navy combo with turquoise, camel & ivory in its'abstract pattern. Shoe is polyester fabric imitating satin. The fabric upper makes for foot comfort, no friction, soft & flexible. Very comfortable & the perfect heel height. I've been wearing for 6 hours today with my jeans. Rec'd many compliments out on errands. Don't understand customer comments on odors, packaging, etc. as those factors have nothing to do with the item. Perhaps a shipper had in a air closed evironment.
