Such shoes will be made of low-quality material and will serve you for a short time. TOBalenciaga rossas are sewn only in Spain. The company logo is applied on the sole. The sole itself is made of high-quality rubber, and the model is made of genuine lamb leather.
If you have doubted the basic material, then take a look at the skin section. Genuine leather can not be on a textile basis. You can drop some water in a small area. If it is genuine leather, then the moisture is absorbed, and the place will darken.
