I saw a pair of these in the store and loved them, but a close look left me with questions about the quality of the shoes. Every pair I saw looked like the stitching around the toungue was starting to come off, and all seams were looking frayed and questionable. The fabric around the ankle looked like it had been cut with an exacto. On one pair some threads had already come loose. the strangest part was that they looked like they'd been splattered with oil paint around the instep...
Needless to say I didn't buy, and I have a very hard time believing the testimonials to their durability on this site. The sloppy stitching mixed images of broken shoes with the starving 8-year-old children who might have made them (they looked really crappy). Does this sound familiar to anyone? Maybe I happened across a bad bunch. Thanks for any reply.

I am not exactly sure what you are expecting. Sounds like a bunk pair to me. I have owned well over a dozen pairs of the Terroc 330s and have found some occasional inconsistency in quality, but for the most part have been very pleased. The main issue is that the outer layer of the outsole-knobbies (primarily the grey string down the middle) can peel over time. This has little effect on overall performance/traction for me. Give them a try and see if you like them.

Didn't know anything about starving 8 years olds...that's disturbing. I bought my pair a few years ago and they are still chugging along, holding together well from lake Malawi to DC to Montana. Actually just got online to find out how to get another pair.
