Leather. Worn maybe about 5 times if that. Small scratch at the back (see photo) and some scuffing on heel soles (see photo). Band has slight creases around the hole I wore it, but the remainder of the shoe is in almost mint condition. Not even a crease on the toebox or the heelbox. Beautiful soles. Photos show the real color, shot under plant light. Runs a bit small if you have wide feet.
