I've had these shoes for a year now. They are just fine. I've worn them for everything from daily walking, errands, running and hiking. They are no more comfortable than any similar shoes I own. In fact, I felt my knees hurt more after long walks in these shoes than during my previous Nike Freeruns. Worst of all, after a year of use, the fabric on the back of the left heel has worn away leaving a hard piece of plastic that digs into my heel if I'm not very careful (pic attached). I don't see myself buying them again. Too bad because I really wanted to like her
