"I purchased these shoes less than a year ago, and the sole on the right shoe has started to come apart. I wore these shoes about 3-4 times a week for about 8 hours a day, so the shoes are not subjected to unusual or strenuous conditions. I inquired with the Steve Madden company on their product warranty, and they simply gave me the cold shoulder. Although the shoes are comfortable, I will never buy another pair from this brand due to this poor quality."
