These shoes are cheaply made. The sole seems good quality, but it ends their. The leather  is extremely fake and is not scratch resistant like real leather. This leather is very dull, and it scratches/leaves marks very easy. Just run the tip of your nail against the leather and it will remove the fake leather and leave a mark.<br />***** To be very honest, these shoes look like they are made out of suede and they manufacture some sort of &quot;leather wall-paper-like-material&quot; or some would say its like a super thin layer of leather on top of suede. ****ALSO dont expect to polish these shoes, they will become more dull and the leather will wear off.<br />BOTTOM LINE: if you expect True Steve Madden Quality, look else where or your gonna have to pay alot more to get the true signature Steve Madden Quality Shoes.
