I had this shoe for 2 to 3 years now. Problem with this shoe is that it is very hard and kind of doesn't give you really support for your back. You cannot wear this for long time cause it really hurts the back part of your foot. The sole in this shoe was torn within a year. Its not that great of a shoe. Its just a good looking shoe. And now it splits open from the sides but I don't think its a defect its just three years is enough to use such a shoe :D. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
