I really like these shoes - so much that I've bought myself a new pair every year for the past few years. The problem is that I don't have to buy a new pair every year. However, by about month 9 there is inevitably a hole in the back of the sneakers, and by month 12 I finally give up and buy a new pair. I like the fabric because it's breathable and easy to wash, but tears very easily after use. So, I will continue to buy these shoes, but if I didn't really like them, I wouldn't.
