A year ago I purchased the above product with and now does not even notice after a dozen missions that right outside a seam is torn about one centimeter - not to mention the also irritating, but seemingly model typical and not impair removal of the toe completely. The shoes were as I said hardly worn, but always well maintained, ie cleaned, supplied with shoe polish and kept tidy. With a cheap shoe I would have expected this, but this model was sold as a quality shoe and was in accordance with the price.
Wear, feel and visual design are top notch, but such materials or workmanship flaws are simply not worth 70 euros. According to various customer feedback on other sites (eg. Zalando.de) and in Internet forums, I am certainly not the first dissatisfied carrier ... unfortunately.
