I love these shoes. I've owned my first pair for a year, and I literally wear them almost every day, all day long. They are now at the point where my heel has made enough of an imprint it's not quite as cushiony as I'd like, so I just bought my second pair. I still plan on keeping the first pair as a backup if I'm doing something that will probably get the new pair dirty right away. The bananas do wear off over time, but that's to be expected.
