The prior version of these same boots (2009-ish) were my go-to dress shoe for work.  When they wore out, I searched all over and found these - similar boot, new year.  The material on these boots is much thinner and cheaper than the prior version and did not last long at all.  The other strange thing about these shoes is how long the toe is.  I bought a half-size down and they fit well, but the design of the shoe gives it a very long toe (it was tight on my foot but I had a good 1-2" of shoe beyond my toe).  Great for peeking out from pants, but my issue was that I chewed up the toe ASAP.  Trip once and the material scrapes off the toe, leaving a lovely white spot.  I covered with shoe polish and the next day rubbed it right off.  Wearing the toe out, to the point where there is a hole through the fabric, is why I had to replace my first pair after a year and a half.  These lasted 2-3 months before I called it quits.  Very comfortable, but I would not purchase again.
