text: Cute shoes, but begin to show obvious signs of wear the first day that we had them. I really don't think the uppers are made out of leather, and if they are I'm not sure why they wear so easily. Were used for 45 days, and then we had to buy a different pair. They had holes after just six weeks, and stress points at seam where sole and top were sewn together. Maybe they would be OK if you were buying for a newborn.
