This is my second pair of Hi-tecs.  I use these cos I don't like trainers, and brought my first pair two & half years ago for when I went home on vacation. I practicially lived in them, used them during the day and as I usually wear jeans I also used them when I went out at night.  They are so comfortable, I had hours of dancing and activity and no aching feet the next day.

The outer material is durable - it is still in very good condition even after nearly 3yrs of almost daily wear and tear.  The inner material allows your feet to breathe so they didn't get sweaty and the shoe didn't get pongy however I guess I wore the innersole out so I've been using a replaceable one which is no where near as good as the origional padding.

So since I am returning home for the Xmas period I thought I'd treat myself to a new pair and just use my others for rough day wear.

I really love these and highly recommend them.
