Gibbons Cap Toe Derby

I bought these shoes in August of last year. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable, but unfortunately the quality is terrible. About six months after I started wearing them, the sole started to come apart. That’s when I realized it isn’t actually stitched—the thread that is supposed to join the sole is completely fake, and instead the glue used is of disastrous quality. I’ve tried to glue them back in several ways, but the result has not been satisfactory. During the process the bonding ends up uneven and stained with adhesive. The sad thing is that they keep coming apart to the point of becoming unusable. I live out of the USA so returning them wasn’t an easy option. I am very disappointed with this product and would not recommend the dress shoe line to anyone.
