I like this shoe.  So far the soles have not shown any wear(I've owned them for aprox 5 months.) Also, to my delight, these shoes are waterproof.  This brand boasts of eVent technology; I think the technology helps, but I don't think it is as good as advertised, my feet still get sweaty by the end of the day; but less so than other shoes I've owned.  In additon the laces have held up and the metal tighteners at the top have not worn out as many shoe brands I've had have done.  The shoe itself has held its shape and kept from wear.

Pros:
Strong soles
Waterproof
Okay Venting
Overall shoe holds shape/resists aging

Cons:
Venting not as good as advertisement would have you believe
