They are of course well made as all Skechers have been for me. While walking in them about 9 months after purchase, the straps just came out of one side. I couldnt be happier with this in terms of value for money. These are too long and tight. I?m very Happy with this Seller. Guess it?s time to go a little stronger with the next pressure washer but that purchase won?t be until the current one needs to be replaced. Thanks, and have a lovely day. I ordered these shoes because I wanted something a little different than another pair of Vans. They touched the hardware a bit and it helps. Really easy to use, 2.
