The shoes are well put together, I own two of these shape ups shoes, and these are better looking than most the leather is nice and sturdy and feels like they can take a lot of punishment, the only reason im giving it  4 stars is because I have to wear these with thick socks since one shoe rubs the back of my ankle when I walk a lot leaving me soar the next day, but the shoes look good and for the price is well worth it.
