I love the style of this shoe. BUT the synthetic sole/heel is a problem. Last year my foot slipped on a concrete step and sprained my ankle so badly that I also fractured a bone in my shin. I had the same issue when trying the shoes again a few months ago, but this time ended up on my back without hurting my ankle/foot. CAN THERE BE SOMETHING THAT MAKE THE SOLE/HEEL LESS SLIPPER? I just reviewed this shoe while reviewing another Giorgio Brutini model. I apologize for the error in the above comment. This is on model #150631 which is said to be a black snake top. Please read my review of #244381 which also applies to the non slip shoes above which is #24437. Overall I like the GB shoes and their style but the sizes in the same model, same suggested size, are complete not correct. match each other. 2-3 stars as below. th. Mike E
