When I first got these shoes, I wrote a glowing 5-star review.  I apologize to anyone who bought a pair based on that review.  While I still love the concept (I am an LMT and think they're great for your feet) this particular shoe is terrible.  Both my son and I had holes in our toes in less than a month. We've since switched to the Vibram brand and there is a remarkable differnce.  I've worn them almost daily for 4 months and they look like new.  We even hiked Yosemite in them!  They're alot more money, but worth every penny.

So, again, I still love the concept, but not this particular shoe.  If I hadn't been so busy after the holidays, I probably would have returned them for a refund.
