I purchased a similar model some months ago, so when I saw this slightly nicer version I thought I'd give it a try. I now have a nice black shoe to wear that is comfortable, and a great walking shoe. I was so happy with it I purchased a second pair to keep in my "inventory" as shoe models come an go and I've found if I find something I like, I need to buy it sooner than later.Fits well, and took zero breaking in for multi mile walks. Based on my experience with similar technology shoes, I expect it will wear a bit faster, but will be wonderfully comfortable as long as it lasts. I have more durable shoes...but I don't wear them because they are not nearly as comfortable.
