This is an excellent shoe. High quality materials, crafted in Spain in real leather, very well finished. Really nice looking. Bought it on sale at amazon at a very low price. Unfortunately it runs a size smaller and the shoe did not fit my 7 year old, so I had to return it. Amazon policy does not allow for and exchange, you have to return it for credit and then reorder it you want it. When Amazon finally credited my account the price had increased by 80% so I did not order it. My recommendation is to order one size larger than your usual size.
