These shoes look great BUT when you take them out of the box, the cheap materials used in their construction (plastic and rubber) are immediately apparent, as is the cheap quality of stitching, gluing, and other aspects of its substandard manufacturing. The first indication that you have paid far more than this product is worth is its horribly offensive odor when you open the box containing the shoes. There is an overwhelming odor that smells like a combination of a Sharpie marker and cheap automobile tires. This product is WAY overpriced for its nonexistent quality. In fact, if it didn't have really poor quality it wouldn't have any quality at all! So don't waste your hard earned money on this example of poor workmanship that should be an embarrassment to the purveyors of this merchandise.
