I purchased these shoes from SHIPS about two years ago. I only tried them on at home. The leather is very soft, and I think they would be comfortable to wear for long periods. The soles are made of rubber, so they are non-slip. I am selling them because they don't match my style. The size is listed as 38, but I think it's probably FR sizing. I usually wear 23.5cm. Please consider this purchase, as they have been stored at home since I bought them. - Color: Black - Design: Lace-up - Sole: Rubber sole - Material: Cowhide
