Disappointed

I received these less than a month ago. Since then, I’ve been on two hikes totaling approximately 6 miles. While the shoes are decently comfortable, I am disappointed that one of them have already started to come apart, where the shoe flexes in the front on top. Part of one of my hikes was a 2 mile walk on asphalt, these are not comfortable on hard surfaces. Nevertheless, they performed well on the trail. For me, the shoes fit true to my regular size. Overall, I like the shoes, but if you will be using them on asphalt or concrete, you may want to consider something else that has more shock absorption or a better insert. Presently, I cannot recommend the shoes at this price point based on them starting to come apart already. I’ll wait to see if the company stands behind the product.
