I have of this model already the suede version, just great. Very comfortable footbed, very good workmanship, and this is the shoe yet wonderfully light. I do not have long-term experience with this model, so can not say whether the shelf life corresponds more expensive shoes, but I will soon enough figure out. Conclusion: so far am very happy with the producers and with this shoe models. A star deduction I had yet to make: the laces holding less than four months, after which they are worn through - unfortunately a small blemish.
