In fact, this is the second time I've bought these shoes. I discovered them in a department store about 5 years ago and I really liked them. I wore them for a very long time. They hold up well and are made of real leather. It was time for a new pair so I went straight to the manufacturer's website and they wanted to almost double the price on them. So I did a quick search and found them here. So glad I looked. They fit well and are so comfortable. Perfect for wearing with jeans or dressing up and dressing up.
