I am not even really sure that the people that gave this shoe a bad review did not have this shoe confused with another one in thier closet.  That is how good this shoe is.  Mine are 7 months and still going with not only little or no signs of wear but they are still as comfortable or more so as they were when I wore them out of the store.  The reason I got on amazon was to find this same show and buy a different color for more variety.
