The shoes are very comfortable and offer good support but having only owned them for 1 month and having only exposed them to a dozen walks with my baby in the stroller the material has fallen started to pull away from the upper boot hems around my right ankle. I don't know if this is a common problem with this shoe or if I just got a bad example, but to me this is an unacceptably low level of durability for such an expensive shoe. I was hoping the buy-once-cry approach would be worth it, but for now I'm a little disappointed.
