Star Fighter Low Tops

My frien has tried them, and he said they fit like the old Hungarian TISZA shoes (they were sold by the PBT, but they aren't produced any more...). I had a pair of TISZA, and I wanted to have a new one (I loved my shoes, but they got too small for me...). I wanted to buy them. Fortunately I didn't have time for it in two weeks. After a week, my friend asked me for a piece of insulating tape - for his shoes. They fell apart, but he had to use them for a little while. I think you shouldn't buy something what is more expensive than its real value...
