The seller uses a misleading description. MANY places say "premium breathable compact fabric". You buy and understand that this is not the case. And yes, it only says "faux leather" in one place. Is faux leather breathable and high quality? Once you read that it is a premium leather, you will stop looking for details about the material. Poorly. Do not buy. Sweat freely on this "Premium Breathable Leather". If it weren't for this hype, the shoes could be quite good - light and comfortable.
