I ordered two pairs of these shoes, one in black and one in gold/silver. The black ones are made of very nice, forgiving leather. While I have had to break them in slightly, it didn't take long and because of how cute they are it was totally worth it. The gold/silver shoes look CHEAP. It's like large flecked glitter on there and the leather is very stiff. One shoe was smaller than the other and the rear heal-seam was off center. Definitely buy these in black. You won't regret it. But, stay far away from the gold!
