These sneakers were torn on the inside of the heel, and there is clearly a manufacturing defect since the tear has occurred on each of the two shoes in one place!
Considering the price we would have expected a slightly higher quality! (I do not expect to keep a year, but at least four months, it would have been the least of it!)
No, you only pay the style and brand, for a pair of disposable basketball, as found just as well for 10.
Another point to note: I have tried 40 in store and they were too big, I was swimming in it. So I logically ordered .... 39 on amazon and my toes suffered during the first use. In short, beware, the difference between the 40 and the 39 is a little extreme!
In short: I do not recommend this product, and I am disgusted to have paid too much for such fragile pumps. Not basket maker who wants and roxy = never again!
