I totals nearly 300 km walk with these shoes (hiking in the mountains and rocky terrain, and city) Only the sun begins to weaken after two summers of intensive use (the fabric discolors) In summer the fabric lets feet breathe (zero lament bulbs!) And in winter they are excellent too (thick soles insulate well from the floor) Be careful on wet surface and smooth they can slip! And whether you are flying: there is a metal frame in the soles so it will pass the security checkpoint socks.
