I believe they came out with the metal feel in the last year. To be honest, I prefer the leather feet, as I don’t have to worry about it scratching anything, especially when putting it in my car. I’ve had my souple baby size since 2017 and it is my most used bag. It’s in red. The glazing and the bag still looks brand new. That being said, I do take care of my bags. Stuffed and covered if I’m not using it and I don’t use it in the rain. Love the bag. Hope you get it and enjoy it. The feet would not be deal breaker for me either way! There is a picture of mine a few posts up from this.
