These shoes are from the Puma company and are made from a patent leather and they are good to play in, sports and school. They do have a fluorescent stripe down the sides and the inner soles are made in foam and are very comfortable to the feet. The inner soles are in fair condition do to small worn places. The bottom of the shoes are in great shape and do have a 1” thick side that has the word Puma on the side and the heel has the Puma cat logo on it. Unfortunately the laces are a little straggled but can be replaced. These shoes are also easy to be cleaned by washing them off by hand or by the washing machine.
