Black leather, gentleman's business shoes. My right foot has some extra room, and there was some play when I wore them. Therefore, the manufacturer's name on the inner sole of the right shoe has peeled off and is not visible. Also, the heels are worn down due to my walking style, so I think it would be best to have them partially repaired at a shoe repair shop. Since I work at a desk and commute by car, the leather is in good condition with no noticeable scratches. The buckle is also clean. The insole has cushioning. They look good when worn and viewed from the outside. I am looking forward to purchases from those who understand that these have been stored at home. (^^)
