text: I purchased these shoes in August of 2014 for my husband.  He only wore these shoes when traveling and may have been worn less than twenty times.  On a trip in February 2015 the stitching on the tong came apart.  My husband put them in the closet where they have been since.  I feel the quality was not worth the price paid.  Also the laces will not stay tight.  I wish I had returned these shoes.
