Love the look and feel of this shoe but after 1.5 months casual wear (4 times a week maybe no skating no biking no running , do not play sports) wear at all except for running) they are already falling apart. Seriously, what's up with DC shoes? I used to be skating for about 6 months and now I can't wear them even less than 2 months before they fall apart. **Update** I contacted DC and they took care of the issue by sending me a gift card for $50 which is about what I paid for it. Great communication and performance from DC.
