text: I expected more than a year out of these shoes, but it didn't happen. A couple of months after purchase, i notices some stiching coming undone where the mesh meets the leather on the side near the heel. More recently the sole has separated from the toe. They're done. I used them for boating last fall, then put them away for the winter. This spring they were worn while boating, though often tossed in the cabin as I'm a barefoot boater. Around town, driving or on my bike. No rocky hiking. No gravel paths. Just pavement and boardwalk. Disappointed.
