I bought 2 pairs in July 2013. 1460, one black, one cherry. Ruined in a year. Red very lgères but the sole is not comfortable after qeulqeus month. Most solid black in appearance, have ruined just as quickly. It turns out that I wear Doc due to permanent back pain (herniated disc protrusions operated and stacked ...) and I walk a lot. Too bad the gone downhill at this point. I will buy more.
