I've had these shoes for almost a year now and they are holding up great. I had a small area where the factory glue came off, all I did was apply some Gorilla Glue and it's perfect. I use these running shoes for both running and everyday wear. Will definitely buy another pair when they wear out. I am very happy with them. I was looking for a pair of casual shoes that didn't look like five toes. And that's exactly what I was looking for. They protect my feet from stones, sticks and sharp goat heads.
