Full grain leather, also known as top-grain, is a type of non-sanded leather which displays the natural grain and texture of the original hide from which it was made. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of footwear, bags, jackets and leather furniture. Because the top layer of full grain leather is not corrected or sanded, its fibers tend to retain their natural strength which results in more durability and better breathability.

Those are the best shoes I ever had! They combine easy comfort of good sneakers with good looks of nice women's shoes. I was able to walk for hours while otherwise I'd be having feet pain already.Will buy another pair this coming season.

Spring Step Sky Pleasantly Surprised

I first saw this shoe on a woman on a cruise I'd just taken. I thought the shoe was good-looking and, after complimenting the woman, inquired about the brand. I thought they looked something like my comfy Mephistos, but with a back strap. So, I purchased the Sky, not knowing if they'd be wide enough, since I really wear a "C" width, and have a bunion on my left foot, too. Well, the olive nubuck is forgiving, and the straps hit my foot at the appropriate angle, causing me no pain, just smiles. The arch is adequate, although not as high as on my Mephisto sandals. These were a good purchase for me.
