I've had these for a couple of months and I use them about 4 days a week for 1-2 hour long training sessions. At first they were kind of uncomfortable at the top of the foot, but that was only due to the way the shoes were laced from the manufacturer. Once I relaced them they were great. My shoe size is 8.5 US Mens so after research I decided to size up. The fit is as expected, nice and comfortably snug without your toes squeezing over eachother which was a plus over 2 other brands I tried. The shoes themselves are light and feel great in a boxing ring allowing for good use of foot movement. I take a lot of care of my equipment (equipment gets expensive real quick if it's not taken care of) , so as far as durability, I dont see these crapping out on me any time soon. In fact, they look just as good as when I first purchased them. All in all I'm happy with these and hope they stand the test of time.
