“This is my third pair of these. The 2nd pair were a different model with bougie Italian leather. I get around three years of continuous wear out of these things, extending the life at points by clamping the front of the soles back on with shoe glue when they start to peel from me scuffing them when I walk. The right one always fails for me when they wear out, as the leather string part that goes between my big toe snaps. These are stylish as hell, super comfortable, and durable. They are my absolute favorite footwear.”
