This was my first review shortly after I bought the shoes in July 2014: These shoes are comfortable and fit well. They are never too tight and shrink well after a few days of wear. I am updating them now (January 2015) because the leather on the outside of the shoe where they flex when walking is already tearing badly. . I bought them in July, now it's January next year, so I only have to wear them for about six months. It seems to me that I just broke them and they already need to be replaced. This is a very unsatisfactory quality for a shoe brand that used to be known for quality.
