Good Looking Dress Shoe, But Potentially Some Quality Issues
I got a pair of these less than a year ago, but the two shoes have not aged consistently. They polished up very nicely and looked great for the first month or so.
After this however, I began to notice some quality issues. On one of the shoes the leather in the toe area looks good and is not cracked, but on the other shoe the leather is now cracked and split in the same area. In fairness I owed a pair of bates shoes previously and had no such issues, so I guess I may have gotten a bad pair.
