Such models are affordable, they are attractive in appearance, but their service life is much shorter than that of products made from natural materials. In addition, artificial leather is not very well worn, and this is important in shoes with a closed toe part. Few people are pleased to wear even if beautiful, but mercilessly sanding in the area of fingers or bones, sandals.
