A little red as well (only when going against the grain), but it disappeared rather quickly. They have a thick, cushioned sole and the detailing of ears and tail seem to be securely sewn. These shoes say they are wide and they are actually narrow. Hard to explain but basically depth wise its too big for most phones iphone or Samsung. Ottime per il lavoro, consiglio una misura in meno. Most of this type of over-the-door bar/hooks are spot welded and tend to not handle heavy items like laden purses, school backpacks, and heavy leather coats - this item is not like that! I recently got a wireless fast charge capable phone mount, and with the cig lighter adapter, I could not get fast charge to work. That has worked well. Use with smooth road tires, knobby mountain bike tires would make the device too loud. I was willing to accept that for the price I paid.
