The new design of the ladies Chatham G2 deck shoes are awful looking. Mint blue/green stitching? Awful. I know lots of people opting for the Le Chameau deck shoes instead now! Poor choice Chatham…bring back the classic ones
Original pair I wore until they eventually fell apart. Second, identical pair, fell apart before I'd really worn them. Stitching holding top panel on came apart one one shoe, blue linning around the heel came unstuck on both left and right shoes, repeatedly had to re-glue sole panels back on, on one shoe inparticular. They were only worn as casual footwear and were never exposed to water.
I placed an order at this store in January 2020. In early December, the shoes were destroyed. The skin was torn in the back of the Shoe above the heel. I sent a request to the store, but they don't respond. I'm not happy.
