I had never heard of this brand before and was having trouble finding a half size above size 13. So I actually ordered a pair and liked them and reordered another pair a few days later. I soon regretted ordering them because within 2 weeks of normal wear, the top of the sneaker where the toes are started to split apart, first on one sneaker and then the other one. I then wore the other pair while vacationing and the same thing happened to the second pair within about the same amount of time. Since I never had this type of problem with a sneaker lasting 2 weeks I thought I woudl write a warning so others are not wasting money on this product.
