We bought these shoes for my son to run cross country in, after a pair of Nike running shoes' top stitching ripped after 5 weeks (running 5 days per week, 3-5 miles each time).

It was love at first sight.  The shoes fit his feet well.  He has a long foot with wide toes, and the shoe is exceptionally comfortable.  The insole is very lightly padded (again, he likes it like this, although I have offered to buy additional padded insoles for him).  He has used the shoe mainly for running on concrete and at home, on the treadmill.  However, he has run wooded trails with it, and it has gotten very wet.  Each time, it dries to shape, and being lightweight, it dries fairly quickly.  He wears it to school daily.  It has held up for six months without any defects.  He even uses it to play soccer with friends---not really recommended, but you can't stop him.

So now, after 6 months, there is a tear in the mesh on top, near the toes.  The tear is ~ dime-sized and is getting bigger.  However, such is the comfort of the shoe that he refuses to stop wearing it, even though we bought him new shoes.  This is the true testament of a good shoe!

It is fairly priced.  I really do not expect any running shoes to last more than six months, so I consider having gotten good value out of it already. I would recommend it.
