Over the course of 3 months, I wore these on average twice a week. They are very delicate. At the end of the 2nd month the rubber started to separate from the sole. Now, the back of the shoe talks, and the rubber is completely peeling away from the black sole. I would not recommend these shoes. I am a software engineer, and I walk maybe 1/2 mile a day with my dog. I guess my lifestyle was too rugged for these shoes.

Older pair bought a year and a half ago and put through quite the use. They both fit a little larger than all my other shoes by about half a size. Theyre comfortable but definitely need some breaking in and are not comfortable enough for walking long distances even when broken in as with most flat shoes like these. Theyre alright for skateboarding though and they look all around great! Also I bought: Polo Ralph Lauren Mens Vaughn Saddle Fashion Sneaker, Newport Navy, 11.5 D US thinking it was the same, its not! Vaughn saddle fashion sneaker and Faxon Low sneakers are different! I prefer Faxon Low sneakers. LACES Im now a fan of the leather laces that come with these shoes. Actually bought a second pair of leather laces too for cheap right on Amazon. I will say however that the laces feel like you cant be as rough on them as you can be with other laces. You can tighten them as you see fit but not like regular laces. I pull one side while holding the shoe down while I get the other end to lock it all in place. Only like this will I get the tight fit I like. Also when new, the laces come all bundled up and they took some time to become untangled. None of that is bad though. I still really love the laces. Very satisfied with my purchase and the price.

I expected a much better product from this company but the shoes are a disappointment. After wearing them 10 times the stitching on the inside has split and the sole Id starting to separate from the sides. They look really good but are horribly uncomfortable, and seem to be held together entirely with glue.

I enjoyed the color these came in but unfortunately these came a bit too large for my size. I can still wear them but they came in one size too large. Also, they dont breathe very well so after a long day at work they sweat a lot to the point I had to buy insoles for odor which I have never done for any shoes Ive bought before. Lastly, they are not good at gripping the floor like athletic shoes or even casual shoes so when I step in water/snow and walk on floor, I have slipped a few times. They are good if you are not expecting to walk around much but I wouldnt recommend them if youre planning on wearing them a lot for long periods of time.

Im not a "shoe head" but I have feet. To be fair, this is not the most comfortable shoe to walk a lot in. There is almost no grip on the bottom, so if youre walking on a smooth surface and theres a drop of water, youre going to be sliding. The shoelaces were extremely long so I had to trim them, not a big deal. Theyre alright while sitting at desk most of my day, but if I planned on walking a lot, Id chose different shoes. Theyre pretty flat on the inside so if you have any arch in your foot, itll take some painful wearing in. They look pretty good and work for what I use them for. Probably wouldnt buy another pair though
