Cracks in the sole

When the shoes arrived they fit wonderfully. They sit very slight foot and offer plenty of walking comfort. Even the look of these shoes are very pretty. Meanwhile, I must revise my good opinion of these shoes, however. Although I have not worn the shoes through the winter (purchase in July 2012), I realized with horror that have formed cracks in the front area of ​​the sole and after only 8 months !! Too bad, because so far I have had only good experiences with the brand Ecco. Maybe just an isolated incident ...
