The leather on these is soft and pliable.and well detailed in this style. These will be good for wider feet. They're a little large for me with narrow feet. After reading reviews I ordered 1size larger. I'm keeping these, but my regular size would have been better. They're well made and comfortable. But they are now airing in the garbage with my hope that the petroleum smell dissipates.

These have now been sitting in the garage for "weeks", I moved them outside a few days ago to air more and the horrible smell is still prevalent.  The softener sheets that I put inside hoping to soak up/remove some of the odor now also smell like petroleum.  I also have this shoe in black and red and they stink, too.  I ordered my 2nd pair before the 1st ones arrived and shippng from China it is too expensive to return them...such a shame because I also have a pair of Mordenmiss leather boots and there is no odor on them.
