text: I LOVED these shoes.  They go with everything, are comfortable, and I got so many compliments the first few times I wore them.  Then... the pieces of leather near where the toes go on the right shoe started breaking - on both shoes.  I had already had them for 4-5 months by then, so I didn't return them, but I should have.  That was an expensive shoe for 3 good wears!  I even tried to superglue the broken pieces of leather together, and it worked for a wear or two, but... I would love to think this was an anomaly and that if I ordered another pair all would be well, but since both sides did the same thing I'm thinking that the cut of the design makes the shoes weak near the stress points, and that it would likely happen again. Such a shame - I really loved these and have looked for similar styles elsewhere, but either the color or the material just never come close to being as versatile as these.  :/<br /><br />Fix the issue, Carlos Santana, and I'll be a customer for life! :/
