I ordered this shoe in the floral pattern; it looks more like plastic than leather. The big problem--very big--is that the shoes look like pontoons on my feet. In the photos, the ridge that connects the top and bottom parts of the shoes looks smaller than in reality. The ridge, stitched in silver glaring against a dark background, is a full quarter-inch all the way around. Maybe doesn't sound like much but these shoes in size 38 are wider than my biggest boots, a full three-quarter inch difference across the ball of the foot, measured on the sole of the shoe.
