i loved these running shoes - and would love to be able to keep wearing them.  great deal for the price, and felt great running for months while i could still wear them.  only issue is that the cloth insole has rubbed down into the toe of the shoe so the fabric is uneven, but somehow it cannot be undone - like, the cloth has slipped down on the part beneath it (plastic under-insole?) and become re-glued somehow so that i cannot rip it back out without risking damage to the shoe.  if there were some way to fix this i'd never buy another running shoe.  7/10 would buy again.
