I've only worn them a few times and the socks are already falling apart. (See photo.) The skin is so thin that the toes have worn down to the point where one shoe has a hole in it and the other looks like it's about to tear. They look like I've worn them every day for years and to be honest I've worn them to the max. from 5 times. I didn't notice until my wife pointed it out. She told me I couldn't wear them in public because they looked awful. I bought them together with a pair of brown ones that look much prettier. These blacks have white tissue around the tongue area, which is really unsightly. Does not appear in photos on Revain. I tried painting them but the store said it wouldn't work. I should have returned them back then, but stupidly I kept them. Now I can only wear them to the Sunday soccer game, but I have better shoes for that and the giants are terrible this year.
