These shoes are ok. They came with a defect in the top of the toe (discoloration) I'm in a hot area and so the material between the tow cap and the side walls started coming out one day, but they are still functional. I did realize they were sitting beside a cheap pair of faded glory shoes of the same type and realized they really are the same shoes. I would say they really are about a $20 pair of shoes but they do well for the office.
