What kind of leather is this?

[Jenny]

This isn't furniture-related but rather, leather-related. In my neverending quest to find dress shoes for women of comparable quality to my husband's enviable Allen Edmonds, I stumbled across some nice looking (if a little masculine) shoes from a notable riding boot supply company. Leather soles with anti-slip inserts, goodyear welting, made in Spain, all the lovely words I like to see (but almost never see in the fast fashion world of women's shoes). Anyways, today is my first day wearing them. I drove to work and have only been paddling around in my carpeted office and amongst the office buildings at lunch. After lunch, I noticed this little remarkably white flake off at the toe. What is this? Bonded leather? Alas, my quest continues...
