You get what you pay for. They are at the lower end of the Goodyear Welted price scale for a reason. They are also mass produced so it’s best in this case to purchase them in person so you can visually inspect them first. I personally would not waste my money on something in this price range because better can be purchased. Then again there are those not even willing to pay what it cost to purchase something in this price range. You just have to figure out what your expectations are and what your willing to pay for. Personally my expectations are higher and I have no problem spending more to get better.
