They're really cute, chunky and comfy. I bought them specifically for a week long trip where I was going to do a lot of walking. They kept me going the whole trip, walking about 6-10 miles each day and staying up all day and still holding up pretty well. However, after a few days of walking, I noticed that the soles were frayed/ripped. I must have scratched them on something while walking, but it wasn't that hard to notice that I was doing it in the first place. Obviously it was hard enough to scratch the sole so it looked ripped/torn. It doesn't affect the actual wear and tear of the shoe itself, but now I have this ugly scratch on the side that I know other shoes (including other Fils I've bought in the past) wouldn't get. Because of this, the shoes look cheap and worn.
