I am in love with these shoes. I was doubtful when they were described as patern leather, but Coach did it right. The leather looks waxed instead of having a plastic film on top of it. They are extremly easy to take care of, there is no need for brushing them whatsoever. I use a baby wipe to clean them and them i pass a dry clothe to dry them out and get rid of any dirt like scratch. I receive a lot of compliments. Also, i must mention that they are extremly confortable to wear and they are easy on the feet.
