text: Very disappointed with these shoes. I really wanted to love them, but sadly the quality made that impossible. The Patagonia brand usually is synonymous with quality products unfortunately not in this case. When I first received this shoe one of the laces was sliced about 1/4 of the way through, no big deal I don't usually complain about that kind of stuff as long as the shoe is still functional. After breaking the show in it fit and felt great, super comfortable all day. However, about 2 months into wearing this shoe I noticed that the top inside of the shoe started to show more than the normal amount of wear. Thinking I may have just scratched it on something I didn't worry about it. About 2 weeks later the fabric ripped open and since then the hole has only gotten bigger on my right shoe. Sadly the left shoe is now showing the same wear pattern. The fabric seems to be low quality and the white foam underneath the black fabric instead of black foam to hide this type of wear is just poor design.<br /><br />I really wanted to love these, but man with the shoes looking this bad after only 4 months (started at 2 months) I just can't recommend this show, especially for the price.
