I liked these shoes and held on them for 5 years (wore them most of the winters), which is more than most other similar other shoes I've had for this price. The suede and most of the shoe still looks good, and they're comfortable, even with a minimal care (I just went to the cobbler once to glue the outsole that was separating.)
I wanted to share the irremediable weaknesses that prompted me to replace them, even though the rest of the shoe is still very good, so that they can perhaps be improved in the future:
- The surface of the collar was wearing away
- I had a great discomfort at the back of the heel, I cut the shoe open to see what it was, and it seems there is a plastic piece (in white), possibly put here to strengthen the back of the shoe, that was falling in parts
