text: I am a fan of these shoes, but it seems like they are wearing a little bit quicker than expected. Other reviewers noted how the toe of the shoe seems to wear the quickest, and I will agree with that. It scuffs and shows wear very quickly. Additionally, I am not fond of the shoe laces. They will not stay tied and it is driving me nuts! No matter how hard / tight you tie them, they are constantly loosening -- and not because of the wearer.<br /><br />They look really cute, which is the only reason I am giving them two stars; but I do not see them holding up for the long haul, nor do I see these as quality shoes for what I paid.<br /><br />On the upside, they did fit perfectly though.
