This is a grain leather that has been slightly brushed on the surface to create a very fine velvet-like appearance. The texture of nubuck is finer than suede.

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.
