text: These fell apart after only 2 months of wear. I had bought these to replace my old Kismets (that I loved) that I had purchased from a running store.  The cleats on the left side started coming off after only a few weeks and the fabric on both shoes tore around the toe box. Also the front of the toe box wore a hole - not where my toes touch (my big toe would be further to the left in the photo attached.  Again, the shoes I bought from a running store I wore 8 months and look better than these after only 2 months.  Newton says they don't warranty Amazon purchases because they can't guarantee the quality.  Don't swear off Newtons- but don't buy them from Amazon.
