These shoes seem pretty durable, and they definitely look nice. I had to return them, though, because they were just too big. Not too big in the sense of, &#34;Oh, I'll just wear thicker socks&#34;. It's like the manufacturer just threw a number on them. They were at least a size and a half too big. My guess is they were purchased from a Chinese manufacturer who knows nothing about US sizes. Buyer beware. Or at least buyer buy a size smaller than you think you need.
