in this listing, you can see one shoe has the patch on the toe bed and one shoe doesn't. I ordered the one that did NOT have the patch on the toebed, but received the one with the toebed patch. :( Oh well. Still, they're beautiful shoes and my son loves them. He was reluctant because of the strange patch, but with pants, it really doesn't look strange at all, and just looks like a cool design, which it is.The shoes are very comfortable. this might be his third or fourth pair of Arkbird brand shoes and all of them have been superb quality and all of them have been very very comfortable. These offer a nice amount of support and cushion and they have bounce when he walks. He wore them all day, to work, out at night, and the shoes felt great, he says.The leather is beautiful, the dye is beautiful. It's sprayed with darker dye in some areas to give it a vintage look and the shoes really look gorgeous-- sporty and classic at the same time.gorgeous shoe. Well made, high-quality AND comfort. Laces are strong, are the proper length. Very much recommended.
