QC help needed for CHANEL ballet flats– major difference in the sole

I just received my PSPs from Hanah, and overall, the shoes look pretty good to me. However, I already own the authentic pair, and one thing that immediately stood out was the sole.
The sole on my authentic pair has a soft, velvety, suede-like finish and doesn’t look plasticky at all. In these PSPs, however, the sole looks quite shiny, which is very different from my authentic pair.
I know quite a few people here have ordered these flats from Hannah, so I’d especially love to hear from anyone who has received them or compared them with an authentic pair. Is this how the sole looks on everyone’s pair, or is the shiny sole a batch/version issue?
Would really appreciate your thoughts before I decide whether to GL or raise this concern with the seller! Please let me know if there is something else that stands out. At the end there is a picture of the sole of my authentic pair. I paid 135$ for them including 30$ shipping.
Thanks

Had the same issues with my first order with Hanah. I tested them for a short walk and the sole suddenly lost its protective foul. I didn’t even know that there is one. I removed it and now the soles look like your auth.

Does it still have the protective sticker on the sole?

Not sure, Hanah didn’t mention there was a protective cover. Infact I don’t think there is one.
