I love these shoes. My mom says I totally wrecked my first pair of shoes even though they were totally fine after my older brother was done with them. I killed each pair of these in about 5 months, but continued to beat them after that because I was broke at the time. I am not sure if it's possible to makes something so minimalist any more durable, but these things wear out maybe 10-20% faster than other shoes I've owned at the same price point. If I have a pair of shoes in any decent kind of shape after 6 months that is a miracle.
