I loved these shoes as long as they lasted - unfortunately, that wasn't very long. With the caveat that I walk a lot and am hard on my shoes - the soles on these shoes wore away before a year was up. The footbed, which started off amazingly comfortable, flattened out fairly quickly, too.

I am tempted to buy another pair, because I enjoyed these so much before they were ruined - but it's hard to imagine spending this much over and over for shoes that aren't even going to last a full year.

They - and their sister shoes, the ones that are the same except without the ankle strap - also have an intermittent squeak. I don't know what causes it but it's kind of embarrassing when it happens.
