I bought my PUMA shoes 6 months ago. The shoes was great and awesome. After a while the inside of the shoe tore - the shoe is not even 6 months old and it does this. I have bought a cheap shoe for half the price and it even lasted longer than this brand. I am not a construction worker or someone with a low IQ - I use the shoes as casual shoes, I won't go rock climbing with these shoes, therefore it should at least last longer than a year or two.
