Quite pleased with the comfort and all until I noticed that they had a small tear about a week ago and then the tear in the leather along the seam grew a few more inches. To the trash can today. Hmmmm; 2 stars since I wear them most of the time, I'm retired so outside of walking and the gym they didn't get much hard wear. Lets see October 2014 to July 2015; 9 months and I did wear other shoes during this time.
