text: Very poor quality...I purchased these to save some money instead of dansko. They fell apart, literally. The staples came out and the shoe just broke down and kept falling apart till I had to go out and buy new ones about 6 months later. A friend has a pair too and he had a little better luck with the shoes not falling apart but after about 8 months of wearing them he said the comfort level is half of what his old danskos were. Although his are not falling apart he is looking onto purchasing new danskos. Both of us agree we will NEVER buy this product again and will strongly discourage anyone we know from purchasing.
