Excellent shoe with six month lifespan.

Looking at my Amazon purchase history, they used to last about one year until 2013, and since then they have been value engineered to only last six months.  The soles seem to wear quicker than they used to and the holes the laces go thru stretch and eventually tear out.  Also sometimes the padding perma-fails around the heel.  Oh and the internal fabric falls apart in wear areas.  Oddly enough I'm OK with $100/yr for shoes... its still less than my wife or daughter spend.  I feel it would be much more fair if they sold "half life" shoes for half price.  The fit is perfect, the comfort is excellent, the shipping is fast, just go into it with the expectation that the shoes won't last more than six months.

Interestingly, I'm spending more on shoes than car tires, which somehow seems wrong.

Nice shoes, second pair of these, they hold up well.

The last three pairs of shoes I wore before these, mostly ASICS, were all falling apart completely by the six month mark.  Six months in on these pair and they're still comfortable and are only showing minor wear.  Fit was perfect, they're durable, don't hurt my back, and great for my wide flat feet.  All of that and at a low price which makes these great shoes all around.

This shoe is amazing lightweight comfort for a larger person during eight months of use. (The following completion of the review is not a con, but actual account of experience.)  After eight months of use, the shoe wear is noticeable near the riser, and at the side.  The mesh toward the toes when worn begins to separate from the arch.

Durable shoe, I've worn them nearly every day for the past 6 months and they show no sign of breaking down.

I really like these shoes and find them very comfortable.
I have slightly wider feet than average and fit in these just fine.

I do a lot of standing and driving for my job and these are comfortable for both.
Many of the vehicles I drive for my job have manual transmissions and after about 5 months the left shoe has worn a hole where I press the clutch in which was a bit of a bummer, but I just filled the hole with a little epoxy and haven't had issues with water getting in.
I typically keep a pair of shoes until they completely wear out and like for them to last more than a year. Even if these can't make it a whole year I would buy another pair again.

These shoes are excellent for walking, which I do a lot of.  I wish the soles lasted longer, but I am expecting to replace them after about nine months of nearly daily use.  The streets where I live tend to be very hard on shoes due to the choice of rocks in the paving.  I switched to Merrell shoes to get better longevity and indeed they are much better than, for example, Nunn Bush All Terrain shoes in this environment. Those shoes only lasted three months with similar use.  The lace-up Merrell Moab shoes all seem to require some breaking in, but this only takes a couple of weeks usually.  After that they are extremely comfortable throughout their life.  Uppers hold up very well, but the soles ultimately do wear out. I am buying this style again.
Newly ordered shoes arrived on schedule.  Fit is again excellent and this set of shoes doesn't seem to have break in issues.  5 miles of walking in them today for first outing and zero problems.  Nice!
Now at over 15 miles of walking and fit/support are excellent. Very pleased.

This shoe is a gift but fits great.  I will continue to buy all I can in a sixe 8.5B.  She walks in these shoes for hours and has no issues.  This shoe last for almost 9 months.

I purchased a pair of these shoes about a year ago, and at this point they're worn to the point of replacement. They're quite appealing, and the craftsmanship is definitely appreciative (they're noticable, but not overtly so; Italian is probably a good one word description.) However, the soles weren't very durable, and a small hole developed within 6 months of usage on the left and then right shoe.

The leather is of decent quality.

For the cost on Amazon, they're a worthwhile purchase. Mind, however, the expected life of the shoe.

I purchased these shoes one year ago today. When I first got them my feet were in heaven. That Comfort held up for about the first 6 months. After that point the insole started to deteriorate.  I have added pictures to show the condition following one year of daily use.  I wish Sketcher sold replacement insoles.  The rest of the shoe is in decent shape after one year of daily use.  I have chosen to repurchase these because the first 6 months were that good!

Very nice shoe, comfortable and stylish. I just like all the Mizuno I had. Those are great from my purposes, good cautioning, fit well, but unfortunately as all running shoes they do not last too long if they are exploited. Lasting few months of intensive use, is too little I think as for pricey shoes

I love these zero drop shoes with a perfect wide toe box. For me this has eliminated painful shin splints. They last an average of 10 - 12 months and for a running shoe that sees 3+ miles daily that is pretty good longevity.

This is my second pair of Paisley shoes.  I use them as work shoes, so they are worn 40 hrs a week.  I work in a greenhouse / nursery / garden environment.  Non-slip tread and water proofing are a necessity.  I am a fan of most Dansko shoes and am glad they branched out beyond clogs, sandals, and fashion shoes.  These are made for hiking, but will do for work.  The only draw back is that they only last a year when worn 40+ hours in wet, dirty, muddy conditions.  This seems to be the standard life span for hiking shoes being worn by horticulturists. I've tried Keens, Merrel, and some other brands and all of their shoes fall apart around the 11th-12th month of use.

I have had this item for 6 months now. It is a good shoe while it lasts. The section where my heel sits has torn apart on both shoes. Other than that. These shoes have done the job for me but be ready to buy a pair every 6 months. The steel toe. You don't even notice it. The shoe is very well engineered. But it seems like the company picked the wrong material to do the job.

I love these shoes.  I wore them for a bunch of all day long job interviews (including hour long presentations while standing) this fall and was happy throughout.

Update: they started to squeak after six months of use or so.  Still very comfy but a little embarrassing to walk around work with shoes that make a squeaking noise with every step, so they are semi-retired now.

I've been buying this kind of shoe for a while, about five years now.  Sometimes I get a good pair from the store, sometimes not.  Some of them last six weeks, and others last six months.  The once I got here on Amazon, I've had for about three months, and they still look great, holding up very well.  Extremely comfortable shoes.

good fit comfortable, this shoe has lasted longer than all the shoes I have bought in the last 20 years I wear them almost every day and after almost a year and a half they are in better shape than others I had for 6 months.
