Defective, poorly manufactured- as a Doctor I can say these shoes not suitable for health care providers on their feet all day.

Although the shoe looks fine externally, my right shoe was defective; cracked and irregular under the insole making it very uncomfortable, like walking on a pebble.  I only wear the shoes while on call at the hospital and the defect was not apparent immediately and discovered too late to return.  Bottom line - Poorly manufactured (china) and defective shoes at a premium price should be avoided.

Modified review...  Changed to two stars solely because of comfort Otherwise these shoes ( both) have large holes at the seams and it's on the inside and outside sides of the shoe.  The leather has just torn away from the sole and these are the most poorly made shoes I've yet to own by Sketchers. I wish more people would review them after wearing them a while cause they are not the best besides being comfortable.

Note - I  have worn these shoes for the past 5 months, 8 hours a day or more 5 days a week.  They are comfortable but the leather is tearing away from the sole of the shoes on each shoe. Best work shoes as far as comfort goes but they aren't as durable as some.  I'm not sure how long they are sulposes to last but I would think longer than 5 months.

I bought these shoes based on the manufacturer's reputation for making good penny loafers. These are the worst constructed shoes I have ever worn. They bind on the toes when walking and are incredibly uncomfortable. This is not a question of breaking them in, I allowed a few weeks for that. They are just poorly made, and have rough edges and pinch points.

The Skechers Women's Tredds Interactive Oxford shoes are defective.  The arch support is at the heel rather than at the arch.  I'm so disappointed because the soles of the shoes have a lot of cushion.  If the arch support was placed correctly I think these shoes would be ultra ultra comfortable. There was supposed to be free product return which I checked before ordering.  Yet my return label says, "postage required".  My guess is that Fashionconnection.com probably purchased a batch of defective Skechers at a bulk rate to re sell on Amazon so they know there will be returns.  I will be purchasing my Skechers in person in the future.

Been using this brand for a number of years, largely for comfort and durability. These shoes were comfortable and fitted well, however, they were extremely poorly made. On my 8th wear, part of the sole on the left shoe came off. After using some shoe glue and trying to get the nails to slot back in, i managed to get three more wears out of them before, guess what, the right one did the same. After another DIY repair I gave up and decided they belonged in the trash. In sum, nice shoe, but I obviously got a poorly made one and thus an expensive mistake.

Poor manufacturing or QC. Stay away from this shoe.

I had a pair of Vasque boots that lasted 3 years.  I went to a local store to try on a pair of St. Elias.  Upon tightening the lace, the 2nd rivet from the top on the right boot popped off.  The reps were surprised when they saw it and took the pair away.  They dropped off a 2nd pair of the same kind and it looked like the seam on the black part on the toe box looked loose compared to the first pair.  I left the 2nd pair with them and left the store.  Ended up buying some Lowa's.

I can be okay with one pair having a manufacturing defect, but two in the same night is absurd.  Vasque needs to improve their manufacturing or QC process or quality of product or all three. I am now wary of buying Vasque products for the future.

These shoes are defective.  They are too big and wide on the upper [brown leather] part and as a result they fit too loose around my foot.  I'm afraid if I wear them, I'll slip and fall since they are SO loose.  I could not wear them at all, not even for a minute!!
BUT THE WORST PROBLEM IS THE SELLER, a store called "FUSION APPAREL": in my opinion, this called for a full refund, but since I live abroad, the seller did not offer ANY solution.  They simply said (and I quote): "We will not be able to send you an international shipping label. Your best bet will probably be to buy another pair of shoes AND LOSE THE $25 YOU ALREADY PAID that won't even cover the international shipping cost."  I think this is outrageous because it is not I who didn't want the shoes, but the shoes that are defective!!

This was my second replacement for these shoes. The stitching on the first pair was puckered on both sides of the toe. I was surprised by the lack of workmanship on $100 shoes! They sent me a replacement pair, quite promptly, but there was about a 2 inch indentation on the front of the right shoe that was not going to go away. I was very disappointed, after reading the reviews of how comfortable these shoes were for people like me that stand on their feet 8 plus hrs a day, that the quality was less than shoes that cost half as much.

After wearing for one day four of the grommets had fallen out. The quality control must be not in existence since most of the grommets were not set correctly and any inspection would discover that. I paid more than $100.00 for substandard shoes. Would like to receive some kind of remedy.
Sperry's used to be high quality. Is time to look for better alternatives.

5th pair of these type of shoes bought by my daughter. There was a seam on the inside of the right foot that was not well put together and kept causing blisters and after a day of wear would cut into the foot. Left foot was very tight around the top part of the foot. Worse pair of Vibrams yet. Should have returned for a better pair, but issues didn't arise until after a month of wear. Has other pairs that have lasted for years of wear and tear that continue to hold up. Vibrates are a good shoe in general, but this set is really bad.

Very dissatisfied. Read others reviews that said they could stand for hours comfortably but that's not the case with these shoes. My feet hurt by mid day and the shoe laces come undone constantly. Should of returned them.

I've owned and worn Docs for 10 years, but that is apparently coming to an end as the quality is now suspect.  I just looked at my shoes and noticed that the soles on both shoes have split in half by the arch on both shoes.  I purchased them earlier this year.

I looked at other reviews and, sure enough, a lot of people are having the exact same problem.

DO NOT BUY.  Period.  Docs have historically been great and I typically wear them for 2-3 years, but now that the quality has dropped precipitously I will not be buying Docs going forward unless they honor my request to have mine replaced or repaired free of charge.

After owning these shoes for less than two months, they began to fall apart. The stitching on the sole came loose and the material used for the top of shoe began to change to a dull black. Even though they are comfortable enough to be in all day (and I'm on my feet most of the day for work) I wish I would have known that they wouldn't have lasted very long before I had purchased them. Now, it's too late to return them and I am stuck.

Returned. Would have kept if they weren't made so poorly. Very rough inside, at glued points and edges of elastic. So would rub a foot raw - if one didn't modify in some way. Too expensive to do that.

Plus I ordered lace-up. Changed to slip-on when added to my cart. What's up with that Amazon?

Have had these shoes for 6 months and am about to throw them away. They have fallen apart and have holes in them. They might be ok to wear for special occasion, but can't handle wearing them to work on a regular basis. Off to buy a different brand.

The shoes are defective and I would of returned them if I knew sooner but my husband had saved them to wear on vacation!  Something on the inside of the shoes keep rubbing on my  husband foot and we first thought maybe it was his socks but it was not, something with the mold on base

Worst pair of Dr. Martens I've ever owned. Cheaply made and already falling apart after less than a year of wear. My old pair of Docs lasted me 7 years and were less worn out then this pair is after 10 months. Avoid at all cost!
