What I love best about these shoes is that they are smooth leather, nude, and wedges! These are my fourth pair of Seychelles wedges and these too are very well made. They are lightly padded on the inside. The fabric/material at the peep-toe tip of the shoe is a snakeskin look with brown and beige/tan. The sole is rubber, but when you walk the wedges at the back bottom of the shoe make a sound as a heel would. These have solid stacked wedges; don't expect them to be light and airy. At the end of the day, wearing these, you will feel like they are a bit clanky. Zippers at the back of the shoes zip up very well, no problem at all. No pinching whatsoever at the front of the shoe, and my feet are wide just slightly. I will add that even though I love everything about these shoes, the top strap that runs horizontal on the top of the foot runs a bit tight, at least for me. That's the only place I felt they needed a little more give, even though there is a bit of elastic on the inner side of the straps. I will definately have to stretch the straps before I even attempt to wear them a second time. My other pairs of Seychelles have stretched with wear, but luckily for me, they all have top support to lock my feet in (gladiator style or straps) and keep them from flopping off at the heel. Seychelles brand is now a fav for me because of good quality design and the fact they are made of good leather.
