I LOVED these shoes...love them... BUT they do not hold up well. I bought a pair in indigo and a pair in black. VERY Comfortable, but the stitching started to go on one pair after the first few days, and on the other pair a big hunk of the rubber sole fell out and the leather came apart from the sole on one edge. Very sad since they were the most comfortable shoes I've had in a long time. I take care of my shoes as well...so this is a huge disappointment! Maybe if you only wear them once in a while they'll be ok...
