I ordered two pairs of Aravon shoes at the same time, these and the DEVON oxfords. After a month the soles of DEVON shoes came unglued. I returned them for replacements, thinking it was just a bad pair. While awaiting the replacement pair, the soles of THESE shoes came unglued, too--in less then two months. These are going back, too. For a refund, this time, and I'll never buy another pair of Aravon shoes again. I love New Balance sneakers, and this is the same company, so it's a real disappointment.
