Well at first I didn't look at those photos carefully enough and didn't read the description because I thought it was textured leather but it turned out to be patterned microfiber acted . They are not as comfortable as the first pair of shoes I bought from this company. They had some memory foam or gel in the sole while not having much support. And I've only worn them 5 times and the pattern is fading in some places so I don't know how long these shoes will last. My advice: if you buy them, don't wear them that often. Special cases only.
