All the 13s were good, 3s were ok true blues being the best, 6s were not that good at all, 10s were garbage, 9s were decent, 5s were pretty good, and I'm actually very impressed with the last shot 14s and cement 4s. I've worn the 14s at least 10 times and that includes walking city blocks, through parks, the nastiest floors in the train, and to the clubs and they look great,basically brand new still.

Agree to disagree. I didn't think the last shots were very good at all.

And did you own a pair of CDP XII's? I thought they were built very well. Leather was decent too.

Wolf grey V's . Very underrated

The cdp 12's are comfortable, the 11's that came with them are not.

Craftsmanship issue would be sloppy painting or stitching.

Do you guys agree with this statement? I feel like quality is the umbrella term that encompasses multiple aspects: craftsmanship (general overall construction/build of the shoe), paint job, type of leather, etc. I really don't think you can separate them into 2 different categories.
