? Mine have lasted for years. The ones I had before lasted for years and only got replaced because the sharp corner of my roll-aboard frame cut a hole in one. Not the shoe's fault.
I would call them good value, if not the latest high-fashion (which is pretty moot when wearing a uniform anyway).
You can go high-dollar, keep them shined, replace soles as needed, and hope the uppers never get damaged. But that's more of a philosophical choice.
