So, I've had 2 pairs of these boots now, and not because I desperately desired a second pair. I love the way these boots fit, and the way they look. However, the most disconcerting thing about them is that the rubber portion of the heel on these boots keeps coming unglued. The first pair Amazon graciously allowed me to exchange for a new pair of the same, and once I received the second pair, I thought it had been a fluke that the first pair had lost the rubber heel.<br /><br />Unfortunately, it's happened again. I've had the second pair for 10 months, with irregular use. They have been primarily worn to class, or out on dates with my wife. This is not the DM that I remember. The quality of these boots is terrible compared to that of a pair I've had for almost a decade. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone. Find a better pair from a better brand.
