The shoes seemed well made. I wore them only 2 or 3 times each Winter, on damp days and kept them in the original box when they were totally dry. They were my "go to" shoes on rare rainy days. Today I open the box and I discovered that the soles are semi liquid/gooey/sticky and leave marks on my floor. It of course makes the shoes unsafe to wear.

I think I wore them in total 15 times for about 1 hour each since purchase.

For an expensive pair of shoes it should last more than 15 walking hours... I wish the company would offer to resole them for free.
