These school shoes were a standard yearly back to school purchase that lasted until I outgrew them. And while I perhaps was not in love with the style, my mom always said that you get what you pay for and that’s truly the case for fine leather goods.

We are unable to lose weight as quickly and must actually watch what we eat.
