Husband had his  original ones for 2 years. Loved them from the very first time he ran in them.  He was in the military and wore the shoes down past their soles. Recommends them to anyone.  These (in my opinion) look WAY better in person than they do in the picture.  Had to get 1/2 smaller than his normal shoes for them to fit properly so PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN PURCHASING!
