I bought a gray pair about 3 years ago. They are in about the same condition as I bought them! I'm very picky about shoes. I have drop feet from multiple sclerosis and also have bone spurs on both feet. However these have been my shoes for over 3 years and they offer the same support as when I originally received them. I've spent four times more on other shoes that claimed good arch support and comfort but didn't last or were a tenth less comfortable and durable than these shoes. I'm also looking forward to buying a blue pair.
