I loved these boots.  I bought them to wear to a convention, they are snug to my calves and fit great under my dress pants.  They were also comfortable enough to walk around in all day and not be suffering by the end of the day.  However, after about 4 months of owning them, and really only wearing them for work (so maybe 6-8 times a month when I need to be dressed up), the leather has started to tear away from the sole.  It is about the thickness of tyvek paper, and just seems to have given out and torn off the sole.  It's a shame, because I am a big fan of Miz Mooz, but like other reviewers I feel like the quality has gone downhill in the past 2 years.  Although I love the style and found them comfortable while they lasted, they just look shabby at this point.  For how much I have worn them, they should not look as worn out as they do.  This boot makes me hesitant to continue throwing money after MM boots.
