I've had these shoes for 6 months but I could write the same review in 3. As you can see, they became fringed shoes that fell apart. Mostly Skechers knockoffs with a heavier soul, but the upper falls apart after a few months and I don't wear them very often. I would reject these unfair ones from Skechers because the quality is a bit higher and they last longer. Remind me that the leather coats and vests we wore in the sixties had fringes on them. Follow-up: The company secured the shoes and stood behind them. I'm downgrading my rating. The shoes are very comfortable but not as durable as I had hoped. Your price is very good. They breathe well and are comfortable without socks.
