I have had at least 7 pairs of these shoes over the years and I have called them "my shoes". Bought my 6th pair about 6 years ago and wasn't impressed with how long they lasted. Previous couples I got rid of to put things in perspective. After a long break...... The seventh and final pair lasted 3 days before the stitching (tongue on the sides) came loose. Globe! Bring it together. Love the style hate the quality.
