These are the softest Genuine Leather Mary Janes in a soft off white with adorned with a rose bud. It crosses with velcro straps. These where purchased directly from the vendor, as I used to have a children boutique in southern CA. I have sizes 0 to 3 in the all leather soft from top to bottom. These can surely be passed down from generation to generation, it is not the common mary jane. It is made in the best Italian leather. I also have other colors - pink, off white and some black.
