I for many years die-VANS fan, have seen many shoes bought and am so far always been very satisfied, because the price for money has always been close to perfect. In this model, however, I was disappointed. The gum has been completely resolved after a week (was wearing the shoe not once a day) and in the following weeks, the fabric has then even up the edges of the rubber coating or in some cases even worn through, at worst it was on the heels and insides. All this is happening now within 3 to 4 weeks, normally my Vans have held for several years and I can not say that I deal not good with them or they do not care. It's a shame about the model since my style but very like (that's why I bought it in two colors), but once again I would not buy me ... so I recommend others also prefer to another to grab model, if they have the choice / can not decide between two models. ; /
