text: As several reviewers have previously noted, this shoe looks handsome on unboxing, but it's really lacking in durability. Scuffing is the big issue. My husband's pair began accumulating ugly and deep scuffs within the first few wears, and have only gotten worse since. In addition, the leather soles are extremely soft--almost eraser-like. This means after just a few days of walking around a carpeted office, they're starting to wear out and shred. It's really quite disappointing, as he was hoping for a long-term dress-casual shoe. Can't recommend these.
