This will be my third pair of wt20 shoes. It is true that the little toe area wears quickly (for me on both feet) but the fit and comfort outweigh that problem. I have never found a pair of shoes at any price I could wear comfortably, therefore, I had a great excuse for not exercising. I began walking two miles the first day with these. I am now walking four miles a day; a first for me. I am stocking up on these shoes since the wt20 is last year's model.
