"I purchased these shoes about 5 months ago, 3 weeks after use the heel area separated from the sole on the left foot. I took the shoes back and got another pair, because, despite the shoe looking like it exploded it was very comfortable. I am now about 4 months into this newer pair and have had the same exact issue. I walk fast and take long strides.. the sole area of the shoe has split and opens when the shoe is bent, and the heel has separated from the sole. This has happened to the right and left shoe.
I do not recommend these shoes. These shoes have been a disappointment. The last pair of dress casual shoes that I owned were made by Bostonian and lasted me around 2 years, until the time I wore a hole in the sole."
