text: These shoes are great except for the soles - they're made up of several small patches of rubber glued to a soft foam sole. On each shoe, two of the rubber patches are peeling off, I've had to re-glue them a handful of times. Also, the foam part gets pretty torn up on rough terrain. After a couple of hikes in these I've decided to use them just as regular sneakers for every day, casual use. I love them for casual use, they're comfortable and the uppers seem pretty durable. I've worn them pretty much every day for the past 2.5 months and they've held up fine.<br /><br />6 Month update - Patches of rubber have torn off, others refuse to stay glued, and there is a hole in the upper portion on each shoe. Additionally, there's a hole through the sole at the heel of my left shoe, AFTER 6 MONTHS! Soles should not wear out in six months! They're still comfortable but they've worn out way too fast. I'm decreasing my rating from 3 stars to 1 star. I'm thankful I didn't pay very much for these
