I fast walk, including hills, about 5 miles/day. This workout wears out shoes quickly. I typically use NB running shoes, tho I have to size up (from W 11 to W 12) as these shoes run small, and are more narrow in the toe box (tho I have narrow feet, I buy a M width). I can't find W size 12 in other brands, and going to a men's shoe gives me too wide a heel.
I'm sadly rating these only 3 stars because of the tongue. It's flimsy, and no matter how I lace the shoes (am on the 4th try now) it bunches up such that I am constantly stopping to pull it down. Yes, the lacing loop SHOULD be holding the tongue in place, but it does not. There isn't anything at the top of the tongue to stiffen it, and it seems likely to get holes in the fabric as quickly as the tops of my former NB shoes have gotten in the past...not from hard wear beating them up either. At $140.00 this is unacceptable. I will say tho that they have the same great cushioning, stability and motion control that I have come to depend on with this line, and are very comfortable,  hence the 3* rating.

Come on NB...At the price of these shoes, I should at least be able to get the expected 500 miles out of them. Instead of the 350-400 I tend to get with your running shoes before they are noticeably broken down inside. And what gives with this new tongue issue?
