100% genuine leather and highly polishable. Lightweight comfort of an athletic shoe but in a TRUE quality lightweight LOW Top Plate Shoe. This is a great fitting shoe but it does run small. Don't be afraid to move up a half size. But when selecting which width to buy - Medium or Wide - please know the Medium is a true 'D' or regular width fit. In conclusion, this style runs a little short - not narrow. If you have a wide foot across the ball of your foot, go ahead a buy the Wide width. Available in half sizes 6 1/2 through 12 1/2 then full sizes 13 and 14. Size 6 and 15 are available via special order at no additional charge. This shoe is a WINNER - Enjoy!
