I used to wear these shoes daily.  Within 1 year, the stichting along the top of the toe came unraveled on one shoe such that I could see my sock while wearing the shoe.  The soft leather at the back of the shoe along the achilles tendon became ripped up on both shoes with less than one year of wear.  These are extremely comfortable shoes, but don't expect them to last.  $150 is way too much money to spend on a shoe that falls apart in less than a year.
