Tekin Women's Dakota Platform Lace-up Shoes, Black,9 M US

These shoes are real leather and are a tight fit. They are a medium width. They are well made but the leather is glued to the soles. They seem comfortable to wear but the bottom rubber soles are slippery until the soles are scuffed up slightly. The soles do have traction and they are made with a semi hollow rubber. They are not heavy to wear when walking. I would not recommend wearing them on rainy days or when there is snow on the ground. I am very happy with them. I did put a fine coat of kiwi black polish on them and a clear coat of wax over that to protect the leather.
