I bought these boots last year. I wore them everyday since then, and used them for just about everything. They were a little large when I got them, but I was able to shrink them with the washer and dryer. After that they fit so well; really light and easily one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I put them through their paces with weight lifting, sports, practicing ninjutsu, and doing parkour. I even wore them around in the snow for hours, playing with my siblings and shoveling our ice rink from under that blizzard (Michigan - bleh). They held up very well, but they aren't very warm so either wear thick socks or keep moving. I had no problems with these boots until about two weeks ago when the outside edge of the velcro on the left boot came unsewn from the heel about an inch from the sole of the boot. I've sewn it back up and hope it lasts long enough until I can buy some more of these boots. I'm very satisfied with these boots. (Though laces would be better than velcro in my oppinion =I)  Permalink
