These are classic, beautiful shoes; I'm on my third pair! Unfortunately, I only purchased these 14 months ago and wore them fewer than 30 times and the toe piece has completely detached from the sole. I have attempted to contact Jack Rogers twice by email and at least 6 times by phone, possibly more. My cobbler recommended I return them to Jack Rogers but I am outside the window of returns. I will not purchase another pair unless the company offers to fix mine or replace them. Meanwhile, I will be regrettably looking for an alternative.
