It was the perfect little black pump. Nice satin texture, and of course the presentation was very impressive. Also impressive was the price tag of only L$295. Well...that should have been my flag that something was wrong. After plopping down my L$295 I went home to unbox the shoe and wear it with a nice knee length pencil skirt that needed dusting off from my inventory. When I put them on, I wanted to scream. The issue? Cankles!! (See picture below).
Now, for those who are not aware, 'cankles' are those little jagged, oddly shaped pixels that your avatar takes on when wearing certain footwear. Linden Labs is STILL working on it (so they say). What upset me was the fact that the picture does NOT show the cankles. Therefore, many consumers ran out to purchase this shoe (myself included), thinking they had found a way to maybe use the alpha layer to remedy the problem. Well, no such luck. I am more livid about the fact that I feel as though I was sold a false product than I am about the linden I wasted. There is nothing worse then showing someone a picture of Ferrari only to sell them a Yugo. It was after I heard from a few other friends that I decided I needed to let people know.
I still love some of their other creations, but this one was defintely A WASTE!!
All non-prim foot shoes are like this hun :( That's why I normally wear shoes like those with jeans over them so the cuff hides those pointy ankles! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement Delusional. My main issue with the creators is PLEASE don't give the illusion that there are NO cankles by photoshopping the hell out of your pics. Keep it real, and if the shoe is cute enough people WILL buy. I have quite a few pair of cankle shoes perfect for jeans. However, I KNEW they were cankle shoes and was not misled as was the case with this shoe in particular. But thank you SOOOO much you are my FIRST response to a Blog. I feel all important and stuffs *giggles* Love ya girlie!<3
