I have had a pair of these for 5 years, I am amazed at how well they are made, in almost daily use for that time they have not shown the slightest hint of falling apart. I am picky about what i buy and I insist on leather free (I am an animal rights activist) and Made in the USA (I am pro labor/fair trade), so this shoe fits my ethical needs while also being very well made and comfortable (not to mention reasonably priced considered made in the USA). After 5 years they began to have a smell issue (not complaining, it is a shoe after all with heavy use) so its time to replace, after looking at the options I am opting to get the same shoes again. The only downside is lack of color options, I do wish an all grey version was available. Please never discontinue this model!

While I'm not a runner any longer as age, ankles, and knees don't seem to stand up to that anymore, I do enjoy walking. When I first got these my reaction was that the styling just didn't cut it. But as I've worn them and found them to be quite comfortable they are starting to look better! They do seem to run a little wider than other NB products I wear but that is solved by wearing a slightly thicker sock. As with virtually every shoe I own I did add orthotics to deal with my ankle and arch problems. Another reviewer was right - they do go OK with jeans.
