The shoes are comfortable. They're out of this world, but they're comfortable. The problem is that the breathable fabric around the sock is too fragile. I've had mine for 1 year now which given the cold/snowy winter means I've had them for about 8 months. and the area around my pinky thinned to the point where it broke on my right shoe. My left shoe tears too. A picture of the rubber outsole shows that the lower part is far from worn out. The top must not break. I'm disappointed and if I haven't sent them back it's because I'm not sure how or if they have any type of warranty covering this.
