I'll be honest was initially skeptical about purchasing these because I am a self confessed boot and sneaker snob..lol. I pulled the trigger on the black and brown pairs after doing research on these and found out that Warfield and Grand checks all the marks on quality footwear.. full grain leather, and resolability. This sneaker exceeds the quality, fit and finish of sneakers I've purchased costing 300.00. It's a shame they are being discontinued bc they are exceptional in every way. I will no doubt, be purchasing more pairs of W &G footwear in the near future!
