I liked this shoe in white and wanted it in a dark pair to go with my black and charcoal pants.  I was pleasantly please to see purple accents in the top stitching and the inside.  I have worn this shoe off and on now for about 2 months; maybe a total of every day wear of about 3 weeks.  Just the other day, I looked down and there is a tear in the suede on the top right toe close to the seam.  I'm not sure if there was a weak spot in the leather or what but I am sad about the tought that it lets in the cold air now that winter is coming.  I watched for the rest of the day and the tear has gotten bigger.  I went back to see if I could return these for a new pair but I missed the return window from Amazon.  It looks nice, but just watch your toes!
