I have ordered and worn these shoes for many years.  This is my fourth pair.  As with so many other things, the quality is not the same anymore.  I have had both the black and the brown, and the brown seems to last longer than the black.  On the black, the footbed is very soft and the fabric wears away more quickly.  Also, the arch support is not as good on this pair as it has been in previous pairs I have bought.

They are expensive shoes and I will keep them because they are great for Florida and are my go-to shoes all during warm weather (which is about 7 months); however, their value to cost is starting to deteriorate in my opinion.
