We ordered this shoe and had it shipped to my mother inlaws in CA , she then brought them out to New Zealand with her on her annual vacation . This shoe was very very comfortable . However after 8 weeks the exterior lining on the shoe tore . I thought i must have caught it on something but when i took it to a cobbler to repair he said they had seen alot of this tpye of damage to shoes like this . Had it repaired and 3 weeks later it tore again in a different place . We are currently trying to get replacements from CAT , see how it goes , will try another pair albeit a different style as the Cat shoes i have had in the past have been exteremly good wearing .
