I have had 2 pairs of these mules and unfortunately they have both developed the same fault/issue.
They do look very nice and the leather uppers are great quality and are well put together but it's a shame they are let down by the rubber soles.
With both pairs, the rubber has split across the sole where the ball of the foot is and it bends. I first noticed this after about 6 months when some water leaked in while walking on damp ground. Admittedly at this stage it was only small but the split widened with use. This is a shame as for the price of them i would not expect this (I have much cheaper shoes, worn outdoors a lot more that haven't had any issues with sole other than general wear but no splitting). The sole of the mule is the weak part that lets it down, as i have to say the upper part still looks great and would last a lot longer.
I do notice that the design of the tread won't help. It has grooves that run the length and others running across. On both pairs it split within the groove running across at the ball of the foot. Obviously this is the thin, weak point.
So in summary: Great looking, well made leather uppers but let down by poor soles. Not ideal if you want to wear them much outdoors but they do look nice and great for the house where it's dry.
