I was hesitant to buy another shoe because my Rockies lasted forever but needed something with a bit more support and cushioning.  So far these have been great.  Comfortable with decent support and seem well made.  If they last half as long as my Rockies I will be happy.  Only negative is that they are a bit harder to get on using the side zip.  I am sure they will loosen up a bit over time.  Also with the mesh it is not waterproof but is breathable.
