QC shoes cost me a lot of money and also caused a serious foot injury. I run every weekend. This rating is based on my long running shoes (over 4 months). I bought these shoes because I trust Swiss engineering and because they were designed by runners. Unfortunately I was wrong. The sole is not soft but still decided to try it. Usually lasted 3 months but after that the problems started. The bottom of my right boot was swollen after washing and caused me a serious foot injury due to intense running. I can't return them as they only have a 3 month return policy. I will never buy QC shoes again and I do not recommend these shoes at all!
