With my 4th pair, I had surgery on both legs for a neuroma. These are my favorite everyday shoes. ideal for day hikes, use at work etc. The rubber toe cap doesn't take abrasion like roof tiles or asphalt if you spend a lot of time on your hands and knees. Otherwise I have no complaints. Super comfortable. I get 9 months perfect, wear them daily, then buy a new pair and send the old ones to do the dirty work. After a short try, they are as comfortable as sneakers.
