For years I have been buying Renato Garini shoes. They have never worn out. I have never had the slightest issue. I would change them and get new ones simply because I got bored of them. The last pair I got is a disappointment. Because I simply wore it 5-6 times. It is brand new as can be seen from the photos. Nevertheless, the sole is peeling off from the side. Obviously a defect, but it still remains a failed purchase. What a pity. Needless to say, I will not choose them again nor will I recommend them in the future.
