Update: I have since needed to buy a rubber toe cap because I had worn thru the fabric across the entire toe and the white material underneath was showing. I'm really disappointed in this shoe not an upgrade at all.

I wanted the vigor 6 but I couldn't find any my size so I tried these out. I had tried them in an Adidas outlet before and didn't like how they pinched my foot all across the width but after 4 days or so at work they broke in and loosened up a bit but are still rather tight and i find myself loosening them in the morning. They are made of a firehose type material so they're fairly rugged aside from the 1 seam up the center which the stitching broke on the first day. But hasn't gone any further than a half inch or so. I would like to see maybe a toe cap on this shoe to make it better. Also the rubberized coating thats on the shoes is starting to flake off which cosmetically is whatever to me.

The traction is great on hardwood, linoleum, tile, concrete, dirt, rocks, just about everything really even fairly decent grip on wet granite until you find a mossy spot. I liked the vigor 6 rubber soles better they seem to last longer with the bigger lugs that were very reminiscent of a bmx bike tire tread where as these have the smaller lugs and they are wearing down faster.

I was hoping for an upgrade to a great shoe and got a near miss, i want the vigor 6 back, these are not an improvement.
