To be honest if you expected to get shoes identical to Vass for $260 you were bound to be disappointed. They should have probably offered to sort out the black spot though...

Even though you got your full refund, I suppose you could still make a complaint against the shop to one of their consumer tribunal or ombudsmen type bodies.

Anyway I believe the workmanship is around China's standards and use a thinner and inferior sort of leather. No?

Haha, no. I just said I am sort of bummed that the shoes did not look like the pic and the spot would not come out. How about I just pay you for the belt and you refund the deposit. No yelling, no I am an American nonsense. My mom was with me, the last thing I was going to do was to be a total ass. But point taken on behavior but how I behaved was nothing compared to some nonsense I have seen here in the states.

I did go to Nordstrom's rack and picked up a pair of Drydens for 79.95 which look way better than the shoes that were made in HK.
