I bought this for my Lowa Renegade GTX soles because the original soles were broken. After 2 days of arrival at the office then went to Spain from Burgos to Finisterre. I am consistenly run with the soles every day 20-30km and they have persevered the 600km walk for a total load of me with backpack (110KG) over 24Tagen super. I had no blisters and the soles show only corpse wear at the edges, by the daily in and out place, if I put the shoes to air. I am very pleased with the soles and would use them on the next St. James again because I got blisters from the original Lowa soles after only 2 days. The gel pads are as gold value
