They started out great. They look good. They feel good.

What happened to me was they caused a major blister on my right big toe after a few weeks. I thought it was possibly due to something else like my socks or they amount of walking that I do, but after going on vacation and wearing nothing but flip flops, my blister healed. It came back upon returning to the urban jungle as soon as I put these shoes back on (within a couple of days). I isolated the flaw to a small bump in the shoe. It was pretty obvious. I could feel it with my hand on the inside of the right shoe. I even tried to fix it by using a pair of $40 inserts, but the bulge went through them and still caused the problem.

I honestly believe these are good shoes. I think my pair (or to be exact, one shoe out of two) had a factory defect. Other than that, these are awesome shoes. I cannot give them more than two stars since I bought them about three months ago and already had to donate them to Goodwill.
