I really like look of these shoes.  If the quality matched the design, they would be great shoes.  Unfortunately, the lining ripped the first week I wore them.  They have no arch support at all.  They will fall apart quickly.
I would love to see an American shoe company manufacture these.  The state of Maine used to make great shoes and Maine people used to have jobs creating quality products.  Quality, integrity, design.  Wouldn't that be nice.
