Upton Plain Toe Derby (Men)

J&M offers great fit, comfort, and style, but I have to warn prospective customers about a complete lack of durability with the Uptons. I wore the shoe in black and oiled tan lightly around my office, with very little walking, and within a year the soles start peeling off the bottoms of both pairs. I have had other J&M shoes around the same price where this did not happen. The real problem is how this has even come to interfere with driving, as the peeling soles catch on my floor mats while operating brake and gas pedals. Would love to see J&M address this defect.
