I bought the city slide in the navy embroidery, and when I tell you they are truly the most beautiful shoes I have ever laid my eyes on, I am not exaggerating. The embroidery is exquisite and the craftsmanship is just unparalleled. You can really tell how much time and effort went into making these shoes. And part of that quality is that the underside of the slide is leather. But this is a double edged sword. Because it is leather, I have gotten blisters still from wearing these shoes after I have worn them in (I have worn them so much the gold embossing HHH is coming off on the sole). They are my “errand running shoe,” I pop them on to go to target, etc. So I dont wear them for super long periods of time or when I’m walking miles, and I still get blisters, but I have worn them enough, that they are decently worn. The blisters dont keep me from wearing them and they arent super painful, but just beware. I am also not wearing any kind of compeads, when I did wear those, I didnt get blisters, so they are preventable. Even despite the blisters, I love these shoes so much that I am considering buying them in pink. And despite how much I have worn them, they have held up pretty well, they still look brand new . They are just so lovely, go with so many outfits, and I always get compliments when I wear them.
