I am not sure how well this shoe will hold up. The shoe does breathe well. The weight and cushion are very good. I am not a fan of the wear on the front of the shoe. I am not sure how well the upper will hold up. It is much easier to run in these shoe than many others. I do like the Saucony Virrata better for my self. The shoe does have weakness. It is not a shoe I would walk around in all day. I do not think it would hold up to hard treatment. It might not also be good for long runs. I do think this shoe sets the standard.
