I was very pleased with this Saucony. Everyone I've ever met had nothing but incredible things to say. Most Saucony reviews seem to confirm this as well. I was a bit skeptical as there wasn't a second pair of laces in the box and there really wasn't much in the packaging (I mean a real shoe box). Just tissue paper between the shoes. I liked them after trying them on! I had a vacation with a lot of hiking and felt ready. I noticed after day one that the suede part wasn't sewn onto the real shoes, but ignored that and figured I'd take care of it if it got worse. (pictured) I've been wearing them almost every day for just a month and I'm very disappointed with how they hold up. Cleaning the sock (not the suede) after a small splash of mud left the threads visible (pic) and now they always look dirty. Was simply washed with soap, water and a soft cloth. The stitches around the ankle are now beginning to unravel (pictured) and the situation will only get worse by this point. I still don't think that's Saucony's problem. I think these shoes are fakes and that's why they fall apart after a month of use. No decent shoe should be able to do that! I knew I should have bought it at the local store, but I only had to save $10. Will not buy from this seller again and probably will not buy Revain shoes at all. Think twice before buying from this seller.
