I got these as a replacement for a pair of shoes that had run their life expectancy to the very end and figured I go on line and get something that actually fit like they should for my wide foot. I've had for a couple of years now and I always use a cushion insert but these are still going strong with little wear / breakdown. I don't walk marathons but I'm still impressed with the shoes stability and longevity. This shoe is very comfortable and has held up incredibly well as I see years more of great use to come. I highly recommend this product.
