My daughter bought these shoes for me when I began my job and they are AMAZING! This is the first shoe that has helped my feet from hurting. I love them. Well, except for the material. The first pair I had I wore them maybe 2-3 months and realized the mesh near the outside of the top where my toes would bend, started ripping. I was very saddened by this because again these shoes were great other than this. I thought, maybe I received a faulty pair and decided to buy another (because they are that good) pair. Unfortunately within a few months the same thing happened to the second pair. So here I am with the purchase of 2 sets of these shoes within 6 months that are ripped across the top. This was very noticeable. I was very discouraged.
