text: I love these way these shoes feel.  I was impressed beyond words. The bad part was, after three days of wearing them in dry limited conditions (all on clean paved surfaces) I noticed that there was a tear in the front seem (where your foot and the shoe naturally bends) on the left shoe. It's not all the way through and appears to be mostly cosmetic however it's hard to be sure (I haven't used them in water or anything). I expect some wear and tear on the cosmetics side of things but not after three days of casual use. Now it looks like they have a hole in them, which I don't like.  I would try these again because they were so comfy but buyer beware the quality of construction.
