I've been wearing this shoe for almost 3 years - both for the street and for training with a heavy bag in the hall. They're very durable and wear well, and they still have a lot of utility in them. The only issue I have with these shoes is that the insoles are glued in and cannot be replaced with regular orthotics. This probably won't affect most people, but my feet have always needed arch support. So I don't want to judge anyone against shoes just to warn people with brittle feet like me.
