Black part of the sole peeled up in the back after literally 3 days of light wear.  They're going back.

Update:  they're not going back <grin>, and he's going to glue them, which irks me a bit (ok, a lot).  But, it does seem lame to waste the fuel to ship them back and get a new pair, which could also be faulty.  Easier and less wasteful to just glue them, but I resent his having to glue new shoes I bought him as a gift.

I think these layered soles are probably prone to split and he likes the look.  WTF ever.  ;-)  You should probably consider a more durable shoe, unless you just love the look and like gluing.  He says they're ridiculously comfortable,which is great, so I changed the rating to a 2.  That's as generous as it gets after gluing shoes <shudder>
