Recently buying size 12?s. As much as I wore these shoes and as rough as I am on shoes, I think a year and a half was great. I found it to be acceptable for the price. I only wear them around the house because they look a little odd on me because of the shape. El pantalón está bonito, pero viene demasiado grande de tiro. - Long usage range. I liked the idea that the Velcro was on right side for right foot and left side for left foot. I keep it on the lowest setting, which is just barely out of my 3 year-olds reach for hanging things back up, but that wont last forever and shes not too inclined to put things away anyway these days. Im used to rigid insoles in my running shoes, but even then it took me wearing the Vionic Tides for a bit to acclimate to their unyielding support. I just got it and wore it last night overnight at my hospital job - its very warm and a bit stiff in the hood, but that will break in.
