First off the return policy is pretty weak for something as difficult to buy online as shoes. 30 days, and that isn't even from when you receive them but when they are shipped. Return shipping isn't free. Secondly, a long time ago these shoes were made in Europe to fairly high standards. Sometime later they moved production to China but they still used high quality leathers and were well made by Chinese standards. Recently I received a pair made in Vietnam and the quality / materials are unacceptable for a supposedly high end shoe. My recommendation: if you don't mind a 30 day return policy go to 6pm and buy much higher quality shoes for around the same price.
