Great shoe if you're on your feet all day. Can't comment on durability as I've only had them for a month, but I'm estimating these are shoes for 6-8 months. I've ridden a lot of hard miles in my boots. I literally floor all the floors of a new 1000 series scale in 8 months. These shoes are ideal for wide feet. I have a 6E foot and since New Balance resized their 6E wide shoes are more like 4E. They're as wide as the 4E, but they flex, so I'm fine. Ideal for plantar fasciitis and also with an additional heel pad.
