"I love, love, love this shoe; however, it does not last long in my world. I go through at least 4 pair of these during the winter. The shoe starts to squeak after a month of wear (not sure why). This is the perfect shoe other than the squeaking. I have had at least 9 pair of these over the last few years so I am an expert at Vama Patent Loafer. i also bought the shoe in a different color and it didn't squeak, so let's get this problem fixed guys!!"
