I have worn these shoes twice with very minimal walking and have already noticed that they are worn in the front. This has never happened to me with a shoe, but with every step I take, as the shoe flexes and the toe squeezes, the leather scrapes the floor, causing it to wear down. 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.
