Out of the box, I loved them! They looked and felt great too! I take incredible care of all my shoes so to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. After wearing for the daily walk, only about 20 hours of wearing, they started falling apart. Only worn a couple of times and they started to peel and lift around the laces. There's nothing a little glue won't fix, other than something that shouldn't be done in the first place.
