I wanted new oxfords and wanted something fun. These shoes fit the bill. Like many of the shoes being made today they are synthetic leather...but in color like this--who cares. the only problem..if you call it that...is that they are so bright I have to be careful what outfits I pair them with unless I want to look clownlike. So  I keep it simple in blacks and other neutrals and I can get my pop of fun. And considering that they only cost $20..its okay to wear them every now and then.
I also bought  them in  blue ..which is really a periwinkle. The intensity of color in blue is more subdued and these can go with more outfits.
