I like the look of these shoes BUT they won't last long. I recommend using indoor shoes, but not for outdoor activities and long walks. The original rating was 3, change it to 1. I bought two pairs. As already mentioned, the shoes are not designed for long walks. My second pair was light brown. Looks really nice. I haven't worn this pair too often. After 1 year the skin cracked. I've never had that with my leather shoes. If you buy shoes, wear protection regularly.
