I couldn't wait to get this shoe and finally found it online. When I got the shoe the underside of the sole is made of faux suede-like material. Why? I don't know because I barely walked twenty feet to and back from the building and when I got home I wondered why is my shoe falling apart? Apparently the company thought it would be cool to affix this suede like material which by the time it starts shredding you may as well peel all of it off or you'll have this semi- sticky debris on your carpets. My advice would be to peel it on off if possible when the shoes arrive or you'll look a hot mess with pieces of tattered fabric hanging from your new shoes. And don't worry it doesn't effect the boots by peeling it off it's for fashion. You will still have a a regular plastic sole to walk on. Aside from this I'm strutting like a Roca-diva in my boots because these boots are made for walking and that's just what they'll do......
