I own a pair of the original Disruptors. I liked them very much for the price. Although these look exactly like the originals from the outside the inside is not as comfortable to me. It seems they changed the cut/angle of the toe line and they push on my little toe. I don't have wide feet, regulars usually fit me fine. As far as durability I can't comment on that, they aren't comfortable so I won't be wearing them much.
