I've had mine for about 1 year. I wear them part time as I have other shoes. Now they are faded and have some wear and tear and are separating from the rubber and fabric at the seam. So what. I only paid $45 for them. so i'm back online to buy and they want 98 dollars. What? Forgiveness. These aren't $98 shoes. They are made in Vietnam and wear out quickly. Check out Converse instead.
