The best deal your money can get. I have had these shoes for over 7 months now and have used and abused them. The name of the shoe really speaks for itself. I run about 40 miles a week in them on track, road, gravel, mud, mud, you name it, and they hold up better than my more expensive $120 running shoes. I also use them for weightlifting (squats, deadlifts, leg presses, calf raises), motorcycling, biking, skateboarding, light rock climbing and even club dancing! And they're still holding on. The material also makes them easy to clean so you don't look like a wild bum with mud and grass all over your shoes. I usually feel a slight discomfort in my knees and feet when running or lifting weights as my shoes warp and break after 4-6 months of heavy use. But not with these yet. Sure, they have normal wear and tear, but they still fit and hold up as they did in their second week of ownership (after the first week of "breaking in"). To be honest I think they will last another two months before needing to be replaced. So that would be 9 months of running and lifting in these shoes, which is a lot compared to my other shoes (Nike Free, Nike Lunar, Reebok Jetride) which only lasted me 4-6 months before being completely stripped down and stripped down. fall apart! The only negative issue with these shoes is that they are not breathable as the upper of the shoe is made of synthetic leather (which helps keep water and mud out and also helps it stay together longer). So when you put them on, expect wet socks after a good workout. But aside from wet sock syndrome, they'll do the trick in just about anything you do. Personally, I don't like wild color schemes, so this black and gray suits almost all my clothes, training and leisure. So if you only use them as casual shoes for work, running or home, they will definitely last a long time. And if you're looking for something that will stand up to your cross-country, off-road, road runs and of course the gym then these shoes are for you. They will last and keep their shape if you take care of them. Hope this review helped! Keep running and climbing hard
