Can't comment on durability [yet], but I was VERY surprised at how flexible and comfortable these trainers are, and they seem well made considering they're labeled "untitled " come from China. "Shoes. I thought I ordered a 9 1/2 and it's 10 1/2 US [9 1/2 UK] and they're comfortably wide but maybe 1/2 long. Overall, to be honest, despite china, decent shoes at a decent price next time i will order half a size smaller.
