These are great shoes and I have had a dozen pairs over the last 10+ years and will be ordering more. However, these are "cheap" shoes (no offense) and not hand-stitched leather shoes made in Italy, and with frequent wear they will likely last a year or so. I walk about 2 miles a day and wear them quite often and I usually notice heel wear between 12-18 months. However, they are extremely comfortable (perhaps the most comfortable moccasins I've ever worn), very stylish and fairly slip-resistant, and because they're light they're great for travel. I have a gray pair that I only wear when I'm on holiday in Europe and I've had this pair for about ten years now. I highly recommend.
