I was able to send photos of where the shoes ripped to DC's warranty e-mail address and they are replacing with and shipping out a new pair. Would highly recommend these shoes and company.

I've had to revise my review on these shoes based on the last pair I received. After two days of normal wear the material ripped just under the tongue. Typically there might be a seam that will come undone at that point on the fabric shoes but I have never had the leather material rip.

I've been hooked since buying my first pair of DC Villain's at Ross several years ago. They started out being used for house shoe duty and that eventually evolved into wearing them everywhere, including taking over for my dressy work shoes. This is my second pair of the Black/Black monogrammed since my first pair got a ton of use. Just in case some of you have read about the stitching coming undone on the Villain TX shoes, the monogrammed model doesn't seem to have the issue that the cloth/plaid does. The price on these couldn't be beat and with Amazon Prime were to my door in the promised 2 days.
