These are nice shoes for everyday wear; The design appealed to me. The fit is decent, the material of the shoe is faux leather and the left boot has rips and tears where the stitching connects to the sole. I applied some super glue to control the ongoing cracking, a temporary fix at best. The shoes are only two weeks old which is disappointing. The right shoe does not have this condition. what is puzzling. I might order another pair.
