I returned the original pair I ordered (as a birthday present for my husband) because they came apart at the sole within a few days. Took a chance and just exchanged them for another of the same pair. Those have held up just fine in the last 6 months. I guess the first pair was just a fluke.He loves them. They are comfortable and fit well. True to the sizing information.If you don’t get a flukey pair, they’re great.
