I've had these shoes for about three years, except for some scuffs on the toes they are still in great shape . They are extremely comfortable and light weight. I'm no light weight at 226 lbs but these shoes have held up really well. I see that the prices have increased some but as soon as I see them on sale again I intend to buy another pair before they get discontinued like all good things do. I've tried a lot of other shoes but nothing seems to be comfortable like these are as soon as I put them on.
