They are nice looking shoes but by the look of them, I don't expect them to last very long. I guess some parts of the outer sole are attached with thread because you can see it on the outside and the inner sole is already coming up. I expect I'll have to glue it back at some point. For the price I think they are a decent buy. They are also a little stiff so they will taking some wearing in.. I have a couple blisters from wearing them a few hours the first day.
