It's a lovely distressed texture to Ivory leather. The ankle is roomy but the shaft doesn't accommodate a leg that goes from a narrow ankle to a muscular calf. I wear a six and a half wide ordinarily. I ordered a 7 for this shoe and when I stood up you could see the bulge where my pinky toe and big toe overshot the sole of the shoe. I have a narrow heel and that fit just fine. So if you have a regular, consistent ordinary foot the shoe will fit you very well.
