• "I had a pair of these 3 years ago that look brand new still. I bought these for my daughter and they are falling apart."

• "Nicely made, heavy duty, haven’t worn out at all."
• "These are the best shoes i have had, built very supportive and comfortable to wear all day."

Cons:

• "The rubber is separating from the foam of the sole on both shoes."
• "After only 3 months of mostly light, indoor use I am really starting to notice poor durability especially in gray outsole material that is breaking off and peeling back."
• "They are already falling apart. To say that I am disappointed is an understatement."

• "I get numerous comments on how cute they are as well."
• "The white and black look really nice together."

• "The material on top is thinner and just cheaper feeling/looking overall."
• "The style is a little more bulky than what I am use to."
• "This particular version is big, bulky, and more boxy than other versions. The black shoe looks more like an orthopedic man steel toe shoe."
