When I got this running shoe, I was in love.  They were so light weight, breathable, and most importantly didn't give me blisters or rub my ankle/heel in a bad way - which was a huge improvement from my old Miniums shoes.  If they held up better, this shoe would've earned a full 5 stars.

Unfortunately, just after 3 months (15+ miles / week), tears appeared in the fabric in both shoes at the outer corner crease above the pinky toe.  The tear hasn't gotten noticeably bigger, but it's really disappointing.  Although I love running with this shoe, I was expecting the soles to wear down before the structure of the shoe was compromised.

Most recently (6 months after purchase) I've also noticed that not all of the sole is made from the same rubber/plastic.  For the past couple days, I've noticed that it feels like I have something stuck to the bottom of my shoe.  Unfortunately, when I check, I'm reminded that it's the yellow part of the sole, which hasn't worn down at an even rate.  This is almost more disappointing than the tear, because it could create injury and foot strain.  Although I'm obviously due for a new pair, it's surprising that the entire sole isn't created equally.

First inclination? I love running this shoe!  Durability factor?  Not worth it.  Now I'm in the market for a new Minimus running shoe - but after this experience, maybe it will be something else.
