I bought these not even 9 months ago. I used them for everyday wear without walking much. I work many hours sitting down and drive a car, so I walk very little. They were comfortable on my toes, but the fabric ripped at the heel after just a simple day of walking, causing terrible rubbing on my heel. I always buy quality and relatively expensive shoes, around 100 euros like these when they first came out. They are the worst shoes I have ever bought, maybe the only ones I didn't keep in good condition (I don't keep sports shoes for more than 2 years, I buy new ones each season and keep the old ones for a vacation house and then throw them away... Well, these didn't even last a year, they fell apart along with my feet)
