"I got these for my boyfriend recently as he had been talking about how much he'd love to have saddle shoes. We bought 1/2 a size down and they were great for his wide feet. However, after two days of wear he lightly tugged on the tongue in one shoe to straighten it out and it completely ripped out. Not sure if we can take these back or try to go to a cobbler but it was really disappointing as the leather seemed nice on the outside but the shoes turned out to be much more flimsy than they appeared."
