I have had these shoes for 10 months and, until recently, would have given them 4 stars.  They were the style I needed and were comfortable.  However, I am rating them with 2 stars because they did not last as long as I think they should have.  the right shoe's sole separated at the inside edge of the sole.  I believe I treated them well and I didn't do anything unusually intense while wearing them.  They should not have fallen apart when they did.
