"I bought these shoes for my husband who too loved them like the other reviewers. These shoes are not a leather shoe with the soles guled or sewed to the shoe. The bottom of the shoe is the whole rubber sole with leather going between the groves. After only a couple wears, the leather cut into the rubber and cut the soles into 3 different pieces. The only thing between my husband foot and the ground was foam. We took them to the cobbler who said it was a bad design and all they could do was cover it with a lot of glue and hope it stays sealed. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY."
