I agree with the other buyers that they run small, but I knew this ahead of time from reading the reviews, and went up a (1/2) size from 10 (1/2) --> 11. Since I accounted for that, they fit perfectly.I just got my 2nd pair. The first pair lasted 14 months. That may not seem long, but I walk and run more than the average person. In those 14 months, I got in about 2.5 million steps in them (Supposedly, one is supposed to change shoes/sneaks every 1 million steps).Biggest uses are walking to the store (absolutely love when I can avoid using the car), jogging (typically 5K), and hiking.Would probably not recommend them for (heavy) rain, but that is outside of their expected range of use, so that should not be a drawback.
