Often Jachète CAT shoes because I like the style and quality offered, however my last two purchases were present manufacturing defects during the first year. In this case, after a few months, a metal thing that hold the laces broke away, so I had to go to a shoemaker who improvised a solution that holds up today. If the shoes are in very good condition and they are actually fine with a nice chocolate notes. I hope that the mentioned defects are something that I have had the misfortune to find and not a widespread concern in this model. Normally CAT are of a quality unchallenged.
