text: VERY, VERY, DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS SHOE. I ALWAYS WAIT TO GIVE MY REVIEWS ON A PRODUCT FOR THIS VERY REASON. IT'S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I PURCHASED THESE SHOES OVER THE SUMMER. AS A FRESH PAIR OF WHITE CHUCK TAYLORS IS AN AWESOME STAPLE TO HAVE TO ANY SUMMER OUTFIT. TO PRESERVE THEM AS LONG AS I COULD I WORE THEM SPARINGLY TO LAST ME THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER. HERE WE ARE 4 MONTHS LATER (NOV 2015) AND THE RUBBER ON THE SIDE OF THE SHOE HAS BEGUN SEPARATING FROM THE CANVAS PART OF THE SHOE. THERE ARE A PAIR OF CHUCK TAYLORS THAT I HAVE HAD SINCE COLLEGE (2007) WITH MUCH MORE WEAR AND TEAR AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH THOSE PAIR OF SHOES. THESE ARE OBVIOUSLY IMITATION CHUCK TAYLORS. I'VE BEEN SHOPPING WITH AMAZON FOR OVER 10 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH ANYTHING BEING OF HORRIBLE QUALITY. I HAVE BEEN A VERY HAPPY AND LOYAL CUSTOMER WITH AMAZON. HOWEVER, I WOULD BE VERY WARY OF THE INTEGRITY OF THIS SELLER. (JUST REALIZED I WROTE THIS REVIEW LAST YEAR FOR THE YOUNG PRODUCT)
