I ordered this shoe for my son for a formal event in December.  He wore it last Saturday for a formal picture and the front of the shoe scuffed and scratched very easily.  I had to take windex and a sharpie pen  to this shoe so that he will be able to wear it again.  It is a patent leather finish so if you are looking for a something to last then don't get this shoe,its definitely a one wear kind of thing.
