In less than a week the coating on this belt wore off on the front of the belt. I have been happy with other Florsheim products (shoes) but this belt was disappointing. These things don't last forever, but I expect this kind of wear and tear for at least a few months of use. You get what you pay for, but this and other brand name belts were a total waste of money. Do I really have to pay $80 to $100 to get a good belt? Yes.
