These boots were so cool. I wore them all the time, then the heel came off and I was disappointed.

This shoe looks great and feels great however, after about 6 months the sole of the shoe fell apart. It cracked all the way through to my sock. I wore them everyday but, I expected them to last much longer especially for the cost of the shoe. I have shoes that I bought at payless last for years longer than this shoe did.

The heal of the shoe began to separate after 5 months.

Initially, I quite liked these shoes.  It's hard to find steel- or composite-toed sneakers for women, and these were significantly cheaper than many other options.  However, within six months, they fell apart.  Literally.  Whenever I would flex my foot, the sole would pull away from the side and you'd see a strip of white sock a half-inch wide along the whole side of the shoe.  Terrible.  Water would leak through and get my socks wet.  Speaking of socks, all of mine were stained red on the sole from the dye inside the shoe.  And they had a horrible chemical smell at the end of the workday, because the insides are plastic and rubber and don't breathe at all.  I didn't beat these shoes up by any means, but I bought them for work (which is the only reason I can imagine anyone would purchase steel toed shoes) and so I wore them for 40 hours a week.  Seriously, they may be cheap, but they won't last, and you'll be buying another pair in six months.  Invest your money in a pair of Red Wings that will last for years, and you'll save in the long run.

I was excited when I bought these shoes because I thought they would be great to train in as I prepared for a Tough Mudder. However, I was so wrong. The heel began to come off after I walked around in them for about 2 hours. Not running, Not working-out, just walking!

After always being extremely happy with this shoe and this being the third pair, after less than a year the sole of the shoe came apart.  The portion of the sole under the heel on both shoes delaminated into a large bubble that is impossible to fix and makes it difficult to walk on them.  They came apart about six months of use, but the shoe had been so reliable in the past I did not look closely at them when the heel started catching on rough surfaces.  From the other reviews this seems to be a widespread problem with the newer version that was manufactured in Vietnam which these are.  After going through their customer service website neither New Balance nor Amazon have a program to fix the shoes.  I am not buying another pair of these shoes and would not recommend them to a friend, which I did in the past

I purchased a pair of these shoes for my wife. She is a Zumba and MixxedFit instructor, and teaches, or takes, a few classes a week. Six months after purchasing the shoes a section of the sole separated from the shoe during class. These things are now useless.

If you are in the market for shoes and are someone that attends classes on a regular basis, these aren't for you.

Six weeks after buying these shoes and wearing them to work about half time (I have a computer job, so I wasn't hard on them), the inside heels fell apart and started giving me blisters.  That totals about 15-20 wears before becoming unwearable!  Also, the overly thick soles often caused me to stumble going up stairs because I wasn't used to lifting my foot high enough to make the additional required clearance.  Lastly, I bought these because I read they were really comfortable.  But they weren't.  The overly aggressive sole made them feel like I was wearing my hiking boots.  I'm very annoyed that they fell apart two weeks after the 30 day return policy at Amazon ended.  I advise not to buy these shoes.

I love these shoes! I have them in black and doe (tan). Very comfortable; didn't take any time to break them in. Will be buying the brown color next!
**sad to say, the heel on these broke about 2 months after I got them. The outer part of the heel also peeled off. I have the light tan and they're still ok, so I'm not sure what happened to these. Disappointed!

Disappointed the heel tip came off within three weeks. I actually bought two pair cause I liked them so much I wanted to have a pair for when I wore the first out

Originally I was very pleased with my purchase of these Florsheim Wingtip boots until the sole of the heal came off today. I purchased this particular pair on October 11th and just noticed the heal peeling off today March 13. So in total this purchase lasted me 5 months at the going rate of $150.00. The boots are comfortable and extremely water resistant, but I now have to go and pay a cobbler to have them repaired after less than 6 months. You may have better luck, but I would rather go to a brick and mortar store, or purchase them from Zappos rather than going through Shoes (dot com) on Amazon.
Best of luck!

It's a beautiful shoe (in just the ride nude color), but, unfortunately, after just a few months of light use, the heel is already separating from the body of the shoe. I've worn these shoes maybe 10 times since I've gotten them (and just in the office - no long nights of dancing or anything like that).

Less than 5 months the sole is separated from the boot.

I bought these for my 9 year old to wear to school on a daily basis. It's been 2 months at best and all the loops on the top of the boot snapped off, then both heels came off seamlessly. I have Dollhouse shoes that have last years but these are terrible. Luckily I glued the heel back on but she cant wear these to schools as I do not know how well they will fair. Very disappointing.

After 3 months the soles separated and the fabric on the heels were torn on both shoes. I work at a clinic and wore them daily. I could justify this kind of destruction if I were on my feet all day working outside. However, I'm not and I don't so WTF happened? My leather Keds lasted at least 6 months and were half the price.  No more Cons for me!

The inside heel area is covered by a patterned fabric which is the first part to come off after about 6 months of use.
Update: Air bladders deflated on both shoes. I weigh only 150 lbs so this is a bad surprise. This really should not happen. Poor quality from Nike.

I loved them until the heel started coming off within a month of owning them..loved the look of them but was very disappointed with the quality.
