I bought a pair of these 8/12/22 and had high hopes for them. Unfortunately, after just a few weeks, I noticed that they were starting to break. The design elements around the bottom started to peel off and then the bottom outer edge started to completely separate from the sole! I don't use them for anything other than normal/daily life and I take good care of them. There is no reason why they should be in this condition less than 2 months after ownership.
