My wife loved these shoes for their trendy looks, great colors, sturdy sole and great foot-bed. When she wore it for the first time, it gave her shoe bites despite the soft back of the shoe. These are very comfortable and good looking shoes otherwise to not re-consider wearing. So, she tried to get used to them but then soon noticed that there was a major defect: the sole was ripping off from back of the right shoe. The left shoe sole did not appear too nicely attached either. We decided to return it to DSW (that is where we bought).
She was heart broken as the shoe was perfect for a rainy day (it rains a lot where we stay). These shoes do give an impression that they may be used for walking the trails...but the back is too weak to keep the feet secured.  They are great slip-ons, at best.

We had bought a pair of shoes from DSW a few years ago and the sole of that pair just broke in half in less than a year, something that had never happened to any of our shoes before. Are the DSW shoes defective in some way? Is that why they sell cheaper?
