The shoe is very beautiful and an absolute blast! Yes, the shoe is made of leather and yes, the tongue therefore. The shoe has to be run, it is clear, is indeed leather. If leather is soft but it warm, so then to look, it adapts the shoe to the foot well. Therefore, I can not understand all the negative reviews. Who Timberland wants something negative said of is completely wrong here. The shoe does not fall from larger or smaller, as allegedly recommended. I wear 43 and bought in 43 and it fits perfectly. If this shoe purchase at any time and can only recommend this warmest!
