I bought these a few years ago and wore them a few times. I purchased them from a local select shop, and the owner ordered them directly in Manhattan. They're made of pebbled leather instead of the usual Latigo leather, which is recommended for those who don't want to wear the same thing as everyone else. The leather is soft and comfortable to wear from the start. I've maintained the leather after each wear and at the end of each season. They have a nice shine and are in beautiful condition. The soles show only a little wear on the heels, and they don't need to be replaced yet. Accessories are also included.
