text: Awful shoes. I was surprised as I had purchased Patagonia running shoes about 4 years ago & they were light weight & a comfortable shoes. These were not comfortable & they were cheap, cheap, cheaply made..  It seems all the good fashion shoes have been sent to China for manufacturing. There designers should stay there. Tory Burch, Chinese only. Sam Eldeman, even some Ecco's. So that leaves us with Paul Daniels in Austria,<br />Lowa in Yugoslavia,<br />Munro in USA,<br />Stuart Weitzman in Spain,<br />Mephisto...some in France.<br />Frye in Mexico.<br />AGL cheaply made in Italy<br /><br />Where have all the Italian shoemakers gone... oh, I forgot the Chinese took over the fashion market right in Italy!<br />Let's start expecting Quality in place of quantity. It's not that you want to last your life but how about a year & with comfort. Leather lined
