The shoes are gorgeous & comfortable. Also VERY expensive. In the 7th mo after purchase the leather began to pull away from the rubber trim on the inside of the shoe. The return policy is 6 months. That makes sense if someone is returning for poor fit or doesn't like style. But this was a request to return/ replace due to poor structural failure of the shoe. I was denied any credit, compensation etc. How can you not stand behind a pair of $200 shoes that fail after six months! I will not purchase directly from Adidas again. I even tried to get the Stella McCartney company to stand behind the product. they did not. They said it looked like I had washed the shoe. I had not; I've never washed shoes. Very disappointed.
