I've worn these shoes 2 times with very minimal walking and I've already noticed that they are worn on the front. This has never happened to me with a shoe, but with every step I take as the shoe flexes and toes compress, the leather scrapes the floor and causes wear. It's been worn thinner than other leathers on shoes and I'm sure it will puncture after a pair of socks. Apparently the sole of the shoe is too small. If you intend to wear them regularly I would recommend buying other shoes.
