OK, the shoe looks like the Reeboks of old, but looks can be deceiving. The shoes look great, but are not made with leather uppers as the web site advertizes. At least, not the soft leather that the shoes were made of in the  past. I am not an expert leather tester, but it appears the uppers are made of some kind of composite material with a cloth material lining. The shoes are very tight, and I do mean very. They will probably wear like iron, but, for me, are so uncomfortable that I do not want to go through the process of breaking them in. I have had Reeboks in the past and have been very satisfied with them. However, the company has managed to make a product that is unacceptable to me, hence the return. Fortunately, Amazon Prime has an excellent return policy and runs a squared away operation.
