I bought them about a year ago for around 25€. And boy, did they go through a lot. I wore them constantly.. after a year, of course, they had holes in 2-3 places and now they're ready to be thrown away. But for the money they were worth back then, I believe they're worth it... I overused them.. as a negative, I would say that the back part of the shoe that "embraces" the ankle is not "stable" but it has elastic and it kind of sags when you wear it.. maybe it doesn't look very nice.
