My Mom's Dexter The 9's lasted about 2 seasons before they started falling apart. Dexter told us that was normal and the shoes aren't designed to be durable.
She then bought a pair of women's Team Brunswick shoes and a pair of Hammer Lady Vixen shoes. Overall she prefers the Hammer shoes. They are made by KR, but aren't genuine leather.
There aren't many real leather options other than the 3G Tour Ultra or Sport Ultras. 3G shoes are very nice as long as you don't mind the slightly different style used for the replaceable soles and heels compared to Dexter.
