The belts are very well made and seem like they will hold up to a lot of usage. The only thing I don't like is that the end and the material around the buckle is not leather, but a plastic-y material made to look like leather. The description doesn't say what the material is. From past experience with this type of material, I would expect it to get sticky over time, which will end the life of the belt. However, if the material was actually leather, the price would be much higher. So for what I paid, I'm very satisfied with the belts.UPDATE: I am so pleased with these belts that I bought two more. I was initially concerned about the material around the end of the belt and around the buckle, but after over a year of pretty much daily use, there is no sign of wear or stickiness. These belts are excellent quality. I did notice that the ones I bought with the darker buckles seem to be slightly shorter than the ones with the shiny buckles. They are pretty true to size either way. The ones with a shiny buckle were a little longer than I would have liked. I almost ordered the next size down when I ordered the ones with the darker buckles, but I'm glad I didn't as they would probably have been too small. They DO stretch, so if they seem slightly short, they will stretch a little bit. Very pleased with my purchases.
