"I bought these for a trip to Paris and wound up wearing them constantly, with tons of walking! They are very comfortable and I was able to wear them with a dress or capris. They also packed super compactly. They held up fine, a little portion of the sole cover came off but that didn't affect anything. If you look on the bottom of the sole there is a white part, that part peeled off on the heel but it was kind of like a paper covering, the shoe was still very wearable. Probably put 20 miles on these in a week!"
