I will be keeping the shoes, as I will wear them with long skirts and this issue will not be visible. I would return these if I could. Worth buying again. You need to turn them upside down to see the shape of the sole to know. Ive just bought a new electric bicycle and have been busy accessorising. The camera, screen, battery and bootloader unlockability are excellent for this price range. However these I wear continuously. The only small problem is that its 6 ft. The fake pair says ?iconic crocs?, and the Genuine pair does not even have lettering on the inside. I bought a pair of these back in 2016 or 2017 and loved them.
