I bought these for my mentally challenged son-in-law. They were given for the New Year. Today he gave me back my shoes and said they hurt his feet. Upon examination, it was found that the inner lining had come loose and rubbed against the leg. I take them to the local shoe repair shop and have the lining re-glued. If not, they will be destroyed. Seventy-five dollars seems like a lot for a shoe that lasted three months.
