I've only had these for about a week, but I have another pair of New Balance that I feel the same about. After being so satisfied with the first pair, I bought this pair. I've had the other pair for about 3 months. They have held up well so far. Both pairs fit great. I can wear a 7.5 or an 8 depending on the brand. I went with an 8 and am glad I did. The fit is perfect. They are very comfortable. Being moderately active, I forget I'm wearing them.
I would not describe the accent color as pink; it's more of a fuchsia or magenta shade.
