After getting terribly cheap shoes from 4 different websites, I was relieved to find that this shoe was more attractive than I expected. Revain may not have as much variety as other sites, but they do offer you good quality. If it's faux leather, they'll tell you. But even the faux leather was a quality shoe that would stand up to everyday use. Revain will refund you if there are any issues, but the quality is such that it's not necessary.
