Let me start by saying....I love these shoes.  I worked hard to find them for the right price too.  A few months of investigation since the site I first saw them on was sold out in my size.  I was so excited, however, I found them in the fall and so left them in the box until last week.

I wore them 2 times, no exaggeration, and when I put them on the 3rd time to wear...low and behold...the small piece of leather on the side was hanging off due to a poor stitching job.  There was obviously no finishing and tying off the thread.  I'm sorry - but that is ridiculous.  And some sites were selling these for $50-70?  That's just a joke people.  I am SO tired of getting things only to have them either have buttons pop off, stitching come undone, zippers that get stuck because an item is made foolishly etc etc etc.  And so....before I can even wear them again I have to get them repaired??  Than what was a good deal, all of sudden isn';t so good anymore.  Keep in mind:  I wore them twice, and not for long periods of time either.  Caviat emptor.

As much as I love this shoe and the color...I suggest not paying over $30 for them because they are simply a thin leather upper and top sole with a thin rubber bottom sole, and not any special quality, and poorly stitched.
