text: This is the second pair of this shoe that I've had. I LOVE the appearance of the shoe, but the quality is just abysmal. Seriously, I have a desk job; there is no need for them to fall apart like they have.<br /><br />Pros: look great, fit well, comfortable<br /><br />Cons: horrible build quality<br /><br />First pair: They lasted less than a month before they started falling apart. The glue attaching the sole to the leather failed, and the sole started peeling all around. I sent them back in and hoped for the best with the second pair.<br /><br />Second pair: These started falling apart maybe back in March, but I've just been too busy and unmotivated to deal with the hassle of trying to do something about it. The little gray nubs all wore off (or broke off) within 2-weeks. The rubber sole wrapping up the front of the right shoe has now separated and just flaps around. It looks like my shoe has a tongue. The rubber sole just to the rear of both arches has separated, and I can now stick my finger between the sole and the leather. The tongue on the right shoe REFUSES to stay in position, as it looks like it was sewn slightly crooked, so I constantly have to pull it back to the center, or deal with the laces digging into the top of my foot.<br /><br />Seriously, I love the look of these shoes, but just avoid them and look for something better.
