text: I like these shoes very much. I purchased the same shoes two or three years ago and I purchased these to replace them.  The fit and comfort is the same, but the quality of the material is not.  The &#34;leather&#34; like material in these rubs off with normal wear within months and the padding in the shoe doesn't stay in place. Either &#34;Naturalizer&#34; has changed the quality of their product or these are knockoffs.
