The material of the shoe itself is a durable suede-like canvas that can take a beating and will likely last for a year more of heavy use. Charged the case and the earbuds until case light turned blue. This one is my favorite. They are good materials, look nice but not much support for the foot. The shelf is perfect for my little space. Those made in China are well made and of sturdy materials. The more ornate styles do not have the same support and should be worn on special occasions or with particular outfits. Its just missing pockets. Also the “dark brown” color is much darker than the authentic “dark brown” color. So get it fast.
