Do you wear
leather shoes !?

SELF shoes, all of them, are made of leather;
this doesn't mean part paper or cardboard;
it means leather, good LEATHER
There's one sure way to tell by the looks,
if shoe is all good leather. Look on the
sole; if you find the name SELF you needn't
look for cardboard in the soles or counters;
it isn't there.
Ofcourse you can tell by wearing them,
or by cutting into them; but finding SELF
on the sole is much quicker and doesn't cost
anything. 1t saves you money.
SELF Royal Blue and Perfecto shoes are
best leather, best workmanship, foot comfort,
durability, economy. We sell them.
