KORE Men’s Full-Grain Leather Track Belt | “Endeavor” Alloy Buckle

I feel scammed. It warped within a week of use. I own 3 of these, all purchased around the same time, and now it seems like a matter of time until the others crack too as they are all similarly warped. 16 months of light use with business casual clothing = cracking "full grain leather". Now I'm outside of warranty and the belt is cracked. I've had $20 belts that are still holding up with the same amount of wear. I'm athletic and fit yet this belt warped into a grandpa-shaped belt in no time. Unbelievably frustrating. I will not be purchasing again.

My new Kore track belt arrived a few minutes ago. It was securely packaged and neatly wrapped inside a classy pouch with a drawstring! Looking at the elegant belt and buckle, my first thought was, "WOW! this has gotta be the best-looking damn belt on the planet!" It took less than a minute to understand and to use the brilliantly simple mechanism. Didn't even need to read the quality card with the beautifully printed and illustrated instructions. Using a strong scissors, I cut the belt exactly 4 inches longer than my waist size. The numbers are clearly printed on the inside of the belt. (Make sure you don't cut the wrong end of the belt, or else you'll need to order another one!) I then easily attached the buckle. You just need to insert the cut belt end, and firmly press down on the buckle's locking lever. Its teeth will bite into the belt and snap it securely in place. Judging by the majestic look and solid feel of this belt, I will never need another...unless I'll want to vary the color or buckle design. Buying a Kore track belt is a decision you won't regret.

It's been a month and it works great. Super easy to snap on and tighten. So far so good with the quality.Update 3/14/17: It's been over a year and the belt is just as good as new. I've bought a belt before that disintegrated after a year but this one is holding up well. The leather is not cracking and the stitching is still perfect. I would buy this belt again no questions asked. However, no need as this belt looks like it will work for years.Update: three years later, it broke. Not sure I am willing to pay 5x more for the similar stuff that’s much cheaper.

Can't keep a buckle on it. Talked with company they said to try and squeeze it in a vice. I've got a few of them and they've all been a disappointment. Wish it would secure to buckle better.

I had an EazyBelt before this. It was not nearly as robust of a belt strap, was not full leather, but wraped in polyvinyl or something. I like the KORE belt a lot more. I prefer the action on the EazyBelt buckle though. I can push it in towards my body to release it. The KORE buckle has a latch release that sticks out towards the front of the buckle, so it protrudes out from the buckle and forces you to pull it out from the body. Seems less intuitive, but a more robust metal in the buckle. Overall, it is great and much better belt. I think i will never buy another traditional belt again, ratchet belts are the way cor sure.

I can't believe that I am really talking about innovation in belts; how long have they been around... But, this class of belts really are innovative and a genuine improvement in the quality, fit, & look of old belt buckle technology! For years I have been wearing "military style" web belts because they are easy to adjust precisely, but let's face it, they really don't have much style. When I was looking for some new web belts, I fell on these belts & they are an order of magnitude improvement on the "everyday belt buckle belt". They fit perfectly, look great & come in a variety of styles. Highly recommended!

Here is the problem: When I put on the belt, and ratchet it to my ideal size, it does NOT stay on the setting for long. On its own, it always, lets go from that setting, and moves to a looser setting. Extremely annoying. Not acceptable for a $50.00 Belt. Its a major flaw.I want it replaced or returned!

The description says "full grain leather." I can clearly see some kind of outer layer that looks the same as the layers on a "genuine leather" belt. Not happy with the color or the little lever that releases the latch. With the other ratchet belt I have all I have to do is lift the buckle.
