I have owned this shoe in white for about 7 months and I am amazed at how well they have held up! I do need to mention that I replaced the standard insoles with support insoles since these were "orthotic friendly" shoes.  I have washed my white pair at leas 5x and they still almost look brand new.  I just bought these in the navy since I wear navy scrubs (I'm an ER nurse) so that I had a pair that wouldn't show as much dirt/grime as the white shoes.  I love the fact that my feet are cooler (in addition to the different inserts I also have to wear braces on my feet to help maintain my arch) in these shoes than any other I have owned.  The weight, ease of lacing, comfort, durability, and price make these a big winner in my book.  Since my feet are one of my "tools" at work I usually have no problem spending $100 on a pair of shoes.  I developed significant foot problems about 12 months ago and started looking into "orthotic friendly" shoes at that time.  Propet came up frequently for foot/orthotic problems. They hold up very well considering I need to replace the insole (cheaper then new shoes) more often than most people.  I am on my second pair of orthotics and my white shoes look almost new.
