After more than 3 months of use, I start to notice differences on materials and resistance between Leopard kitty mary jane and Sailor kitty mary jane. Let's see what the differences are.

Italian version at the end of the post
1. Heel
Leopard heel is perfect, Sailor heel shows the material under the insole
2. Strap
The materials are different.
Sailor strap is more soft when it bends, while Leopard strap is rigid.
There is no sign of wear and tear on the side od Sailor strap, while Leopard strap has a bad look after only 3 months of use. You can see small white filaments on left picture, maybe yarn pieces.
Same defect on strap holes:
Leopard has definitely a cheaper look.
3. Outsole
Sailor's bones and skull are still pretty white while Leopard become grey.
Again, maybe different material?
4. Buckle
Leopard's buckle stays in place, because the loop of the strap is shorter. See the seam that closes the loop?
We have a first seam that closes the loop and a second seam to attach the strap to the upper part of the shoes.
The buckle can't go anywhere.
Sailor's buckle, on the other hand, it goes down along the strap because the loop is bigger. Here we have only one seam, the seam that attach the strap to the upper.
Some times you're closing the shoes and you have no buckle!
