“These shoes are wonderful for someone, but not me. Just like the 2 new pair of Mateem in my closet, they break funny just below the big toe, and become so painful they cannot be worn. Quality is not the issue. Bring back Ion, they seem to fit "ok" but are not available in my size/ color( plain white). My other Ion's fit ok, but got a hole in the upper deck pretty rapidly ( where the fabic meets the leather. Good luck.”
