I got mine 4 years ago, wore them everyday except for the winter seasons, they have been my trusty shoes that made me forget what is pain/tired when standing/walking. The suede is amazingly durable that you could barely tell the age of the shoes. Only things start to ware off are the Velcro fasteners and the soles at the heels, but the shoes are still running strong... The leather is so soft, but never get too loose as other leather shoes I have. So sad I can't find these at a discounted price any more, mine was only ~$120... I'm getting a pair of Sawa for $99 now, hopefully they will be as good. But I have to say, Kaya is a classic!
