First off the shoe looks good and looks well made,  I don't think I'll have an issue with it falling apart... other than that I am very disappointed.  They feel as if my ankles are bent inward.  I wore them around for a few weeks to brake (part the return period to my own fault) before running in them.  Running in them made my legs hurt,  and the rear of the shoe left painful cuts on my Achilles (I tried different socks but nothing seemed to help).  I would steer clear of these if you plan to run in them.
