I have had another pair of NB turfs for almost 4 years and they have been great. I needed something newer and hopefully more comfortable than my worn pair. YOU ARE NOT! The outsole/cushioning sucks on them. They are good as a mudguard as I use them for sneakers but for the price they are too stiff and after a day of wearing them my feet hurt so bad I can go back to my old ones. I have worn them about 8-10 times hoping they will "break" but they are too tight.
