I have been wearing this product for over a year now. There is a ton of padding under the foot and because of the way the shoe rocks your foot while walking my shins no longer hurt from walking incorrectly. I work on my feet all day in a uniform pounding concrete flooring. Finally I head for home without my feeting aching in paid. I am very hard on shoes because of my work. I wear them 12 hours a day. Because of that they only last me about 3 months maybe 4. That is still longer then the Nike' sneakers or the Reboks.
