These shoes, while offering amazing arch and heel support, are otherwise poorly made. The rubber comes off easily, the stitching started to unravel after a couple of weeks and the leather was peeling off the sole, all within four months. Since it was summer, I didn't wear them as often as in other seasons. I bought these shoes after reading user reviews and an article highlighting the excellent high arch support. Unfortunately, I've spent more money than ever on these shoes, but they've lasted a lot less time. I am so disappointed and frustrated. I wish the arch and heel support were in a better quality shoe. I have attached photos showing some of the problems described.
