Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I’ve worn these less than a month, and though they are relatively comfortable and of decent weight, the stitching on the toes of each shoe have worn off and the rubber is peeling down. I have not been working on my knees, meaning my toe tops would rub on the ground, nor do I do any kicking with these shoes on. I have only executed light chores outside and in the barn in these shoes. Nothing very strenuous or dirty. Have a look at the photo I’ve attached of the toe. These shoes seem of great quality out of the box and brand new, I initially thought these would go the distance. In my opinion, this is where most of the great reviews of this shoe on amazon come from. But, as far as actual use is concerned, the toes could not stand up to even the lightest of yard chores. Update: After one more week of use I felt the need to update this review with another photo of the continued degradation. I've been doing the same chores I've done in many other work shoes/boots without this issue. As you can see, the leather is in normal condition, The problem is the thin stretchy rubber that is stitched at the toe. I'm curious as to what sketchers R&D department was thinking when wrapping the toe in this thin rubber instead of bringing the leather all the way down to the sole. Again, this last photo is only after 4 weeks of everyday chores around the house. I was hoping to break these shoes in at home, and then really use them at work over the next month, but they clearly could not survived the month at home. They would never have survived a month at work, and what good is a work shoe if it cannot stand up to work?
