Have this shoe - but in dark brown - purchased in the shoe business and am very happy with it. It fits well and is very conveniently located (of course always of the respective feet permitting). But for the summer, I would like a light color and was glad to find this shoe in beige on Amazon - and even much cheaper. After fast delivery tightened and run - fits as great as hoped. After taking off the surprise, the (bright) socks showed the imprint of the shoe inside in dark gray. A look at the box informed me: discoloration of this type are no manufacturing defects. Obviously, the shoe designer contribute Camel in summer black socks. Interestingly, not color my dark brown shoes the same design but. Home remedies (alcohol) and professional Colour Stop Spray have so far can only reduce the discoloration. Dear people at Camel, black socks in bright sandals I find stupid!
