Hi, my husband bought the pumps 3 weeks ago for occasional use and has only worn them 5 times . They have already split away from the upper shoe along the sides of. both shoe. He has been a loyal customer of Levi since the early 70's and continues to wear your jeans today. He is really disappointed that this has happened so quickly after purchasing them. In the photographs provided, you can see by the sole they are still very new.
