Entire upper is leather, including toe box, the rest is your basic Converse Chuck Taylor Allstar! I wore them occasionally, so they have a soft look to the leather, but practically like new in the sole and the remaining life of the shoe. The sizing says 7, but I'm a 7/7.5. They are more like 7.5. The leather adds a touch of class- for the office maybe? The traditional chucks can compliment many genres.
