text: I had to return the shoes for replacement.  I was really disappointed to do so, expecting great wear from something with Dickies brand name, but the front outer seam on both shoes split.  I bought the shoes for their reported ability to handle a standing on concrete shop work environment, and while the soles did well, the uppers seam did very poorly.  I have not worn the new replacement shoes yet.  I am hoping that the first pair were a fluke and this second pair will perform better.  I love Dickies brand workwear, like their work shirts and jeans and socks.  But, the shoes did poorly and I am sad to have to give such a low rating.
