I work 16 hour days and am on my feet most of the time. I've had these shoes for 10 months now and they are holding up well. I was worried there would be hacking issues when I received them, but to my surprise, there weren't any issues. They fit perfectly and there is no problem with new shoes. I will buy them again when I need them. I've been with them for many hours throughout the week and they've always done well. They are still in good condition and should last a little longer. They also work great in the kitchen and other surfaces that tend to be slippery. I've tried many shoes and paid four times the price for some just so they last a few months.
