I purchased these shoes on December 29, 2017, and when they first arrived I was quite pleased with them. They're comfortable, look nice, feel great even after walking or standing all day, and the black on black is just sharp.

About 3 months into these shoes however, I grew very disappointed in the durability of them. I wear them for casual day to day walking, I don't do any type of jogging or strenuous activities in them, yet the rubber siding that adheres the top cloth to the rubber sole began to split apart where the shoe bends as I walk. At first, it started at the top of the shoe, and one day I had the misfortune of stepping in a small puddle only to realize that the bottom of the shoe was no longer going to keep my feet dry, and I spent the rest of that day walking around with a soaked foot.

Ever the optimist though, I secured myself some gorilla glue, and stuck the rubber back to the shoe again where it was separating, and ensured enough glue on the bottom to make it water tight again. That lasted all of a week, before the shoe split in a new place along the heel of the shoe this time.

The final straw in this however was 3 weeks ago. I slipped my left shoe on with no issues, as I have every day since I got them. The right shoe however had other plans for my day, and as I put my foot in, the cloth on the right side of the right shoe, about in line with the bone of my ankle decided to tear, and when I say tear, it ripped from top of shoe all the way to the rubber sole, rendering the shoe useless at that point to me.

I expected to get more than 5 months of solid wear out of these shoes, as I've owned crappier cheap shoes for years without them falling apart, yet these just didn't seem to cut it.
