Received the shoes in late November last year and the front of the right shoe's sole has worn through and broken off.  I'll bring it to the shoemaker and see if a repair can be made, unlikely since they'd have to sew a whole new sole on.  Dexter's used to last up to 2 years, this is my second pair of Bass which has worn out early (the first actually appeared to be cheap knock-offs, so this time I bought from another supplier).  Get what you pay for I guess.  Really miss those Dexter outlet stores in Maine, loafers for $45 that really held up.
