I must have been really unlucky with Shires Moretta. 1st pair lasted 2 years then the leather laminate just peeled off. 2nd pair are disintegrating!
I ride most days and do look after them but most recent pair it is the sticking by the zip thats just given up (not in a re-stich basis either). 1st pair i ended up getting the zip replaced but this pair are going everywhere.
