I've bought these moccasins many times in the past and usually after three to six months the sole has split in half (from one side of the foot to the other, on the ball of the foot). But not these Hush Puppies shoes. This is the strongest, most durable shoe I have ever worn and it is very comfortable. They have served me for three years and are only now beginning to wear out. I definitely plan on replacing them with the same shoes again if possible.
