text: These shoes are comfortable and fit well, but they are not at all durable!  I have been wearing them for only 5 months and they are already falling apart.  Granted I walk a lot, but skate shoes are supposed to be built to stand up to hard and heavy use (you know, like skateboarding...) and these absolutely do not.  The upper has separated from the sole in several places, the plastic lining is broken and poking through, there is a hole worn through the sole, and the heelcups are completely worn away with broken bare plastic showing. Remember, all this is after less than 6 months.<br /><br />For what I paid ($13) I couldn't care less because for $13 I'll happily just buy a new pair every 5 months, but if you are paying more than that I do not think these shoes are a good deal.
