I have worn these shoes twice with minimal steps and already noticed that they are worn on the front. This has never happened to me with a shoe, but with every step I take as the shoe flexes and toes compress, the leather scrapes the floor and causes wear. It's already thinner than other leathers worn on shoes and I'm sure it'll puncture after a pair of socks. Apparently the sole of the shoe is too small. If you intend to wear them regularly I would recommend buying other shoes.
