text: I have owned these for approximately 6 months. I'm a nurse and I work 12 hour shifts. I put alot of steps on my shoes, so I tend to wear them out more quickly than the average person would. I wanted to wait before writing my review to see how these would hold up. I have to say that this model of Asics has been a disappointment to me. I have owned the Kinsei and Kayano models and had each of them a year and still wear them. After approx 5-6 months these have worn out and have become very uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend them for the price. Yes, they're cute and if you're buying them for that, then go ahead. But if you're buying them for serious wear, look for a different model of Asics, this isn't the one.
