I have been buying Florsheim shoes for many years. The last two pairs were qualitatively very disappointing. I've had this pair for a little over 2 months and they appear to be many years old. The tassels fell off, the patches curled up on the boot, and now the cleat was worn out. I don't blame the retailer as they didn't make the shoes but I wrote to Florsheim to provide information about the purchase and to report any issues as it wasn't limited to this particular pair. The manufacturer did not answer me and confirmed the lack of attention to quality. Very disappointing. These shoes are not cheap, please save your hard earned money and avoid the embarrassment of wearing shoes of this quality.
