I'm on my feet most of the 12 hours of my shift 3 days a week at a hospital. On top of that, I run or walk for exercise roughly 4 times a week. I've owned these shoes for 3 years and have worn them almost every day unless we're going out somewhere nice. They are still SO comfortable and have very little sign of wear. No holes, the soles are still perfectly in tact. I have plenty of coworkers that get new shoes every 6 months for twice the price. Not me!
