I've had these sneakers for less than 2 weeks and they are already ripping near where the laces are tied. Both sneakers. I only wear them for running every other day and take them off when I get back. My last pair of New Balance did the same thing but took longer to happen. Very disappointed. I threw away the box. If I had realized this would have happened this soon I would not have ordered these. Maybe I need to try other brands.
