After trying several distributors in several shoes, shoes that after 3 or 6 months no longer served to tinker or to garden so they were damaged (stitching, soles, etc ..), I arrived at Converse there are 2 years. I take Converse leather, they are comfortable, not messy (a sponge is enough ...) and no smell contrary to what you may hear on Converse tissue. And in addition the sole reasonably use but is thick enough so that the shoes last a long time (I always wear those bought there 2 years). These are no exception to the rule: perfect shoes! I usually shoe size 42 and I took 42, it suits me very well.
