Nice if you like metallic bronze leather -
I bought these Pablosky "634015"s because my son loves his other Pablosky shoes, they are so beautifully made, of such great quality, and so apparently comfortable (he is only 19 months old so cannot say so, but he does walk in them very happily). However, on this (black and brown) shoe, I should have perused all the photos more carefully. I thought the brown color in the photograph was a Nubuck or other soft-looking suede leather, and it is in fact a shiny metallic bronze. I had hoped this shoe could go anywhere from casual to formal and be his real workhorse shoe, but the shiny metallic leather looks like plastic, so they didn't in fact go with anything. The shoes are clearly up to the Pablosky standard of utility and manufacturing quality, but that darn shiny bronze was just too much. Zappos handled the return with their usual excellence. I'll add, it was a disappointment that the shoes weren't as expected. I really wanted them to work -- if the brown had been suede or just that dusty-looking unpolished leather, these shoes would have been as unbeatable in appearance as they are in quality.
