I bought these shoes for my husband for Christmas and he was very happy with them. He's been wearing them to a casual dinner or meeting about three times a week since January. He doesn't wear them all day, every day. We both really liked the look and color of the shoes. The problem is that after 6 months a hole was rubbed on his finger in the upper part of the material. We are very disappointed that this is a well known Sperry brand shoe with a great reputation that didn't last more than 6 months. I could understand if it was his only pair of shoes and he wore them all the time. It's definitely not what we expected from the $65 Sperry Top-Sider.
