got these last year for xmass, honestly haven't put too much wear on them, maby 15 miles worth of walking in them around town and then 3 or 4  two to three hour hikes, but they haven't broke yet. I think a fair guess would be 1 to 2 years of everyday use or 5 to 10 years of use as needed, like I have been, I mean 1 year latter they still look brand new, and I have had some cheap $20 shoes from ross last me 4 years of almost daily wear. I think these will last me 5years or more :) they are comphy too I did 10hours of comunity service in these and my feet didn't hurt, did 10 hours in converse and 10hours in 2 diffrent types of skateshoes and my feet hurt with in 6 hours, so hands down the most comphy shoes I have

well here it is a whole 2 years latter and the dam things still look brand new!!! I try to hike atleast once a week too. They are veary close to being water proof, like you have to stand in water up to your knees and count to 3 befor you feel your sox get wet, so just walking in the rain or steping in puddles is not enough to soak through :) Im happy! well so far there is almost no signs of wear,slight mud stains at best, real talk some how they still look new, I got like 4 pairs of shooes siense then and these still look like my new shoes. I once thought they last me 2years max but now Im thinking I got about 4 more to go but if I step up my game and do more than a 2 or 3 hour hike and realy put these boots to work or go like 3 times a week then I'll get another 2, but I don't think most people get out in the brush as much as me or smash through creaks and use them as work boots from time to time too, sooooo I think most of you could veary well have these outlast your car or spouce lmao, some people might even have these for life, and Im sure most people will goodwill or throw them out long befor they fall apart. I had a good opion out the gate but these last 2 years they have made me 1 happy camper. Comphy too!!!! omg I can be on my feet all day in these! Im 29 most comphy shoe ever worn hands down, well that and my rebock pumps from 1st grade :P

I can confess to buying these twice.  I had bought a pair of these shoes before and unfortunately wound up leaving them behind after staying at a cabin during a hiking vacation.  I regretted it ever since.  So I just replaced my lost pair and am reminded of why I liked them, and why I needed them in my life.

They're great for light hiking and not having to lug around my heavy Asolo hiking boots on my feet when they not really needed for the terrain.  Good shoe for around the camp or apres-hiking once you take the big boots off, since they will be comfortable but still handle dirt/rocks/rough surfaces and don't collect the debris a sandal would.  You can wear them out and about at home, since they look more stylish than your typical lightweight hiker, and hold up well.  Don't wear them into water that's too deep (obviously), but if you do they dry out quickly but the leather doesn't shrivel or pucker.  The only challenge I had with them was that the laces are a bit slippery, and so you have to tie a double knot or they'll come undone.

I bought my original pair of these two summers ago. Since then have logged hundreds of miles with these. Most hiking/climbing done in Colorado, including over twenty 14,000 peaks, numerous backpacking trips and snow hikes. Heck, I even skid with them once last year when I forgot my ski poles! No way did I think theyd last this long, but theyve held up great. I much prefer this style and weight to most all more expensive options.
Not sure if it had much to do with it, but my secret was to extend each section proportionately and mark them so that it was at same spot each use. Otherwise, just used common sense as to how much pressure was appropriate and to let go if they got stuck in rocks/snow.
Sadly, I returned home from a trip today and they weren't in the Jeep. Not sure how I left them behind, but Im ordering another pair and hoping they hold up just the same, and plan to use for many years.

I was wary about getting hiking shoes from Adidas. As much as I love the brand, they don't exactly specialize in outdoor gear. I needed a good pair of light hiking shoes, was going to go with the usual candidates, NorthFace, Marmot, Columbia, etc... But because I've always loved Adidas fitness items, I decided to give them a shot. The shoe is very light weight and comfortable. The way the sole is constructed it gives a "rounded" feel when walking that I enjoy. The traction is great. Light mesh covering is good for breathability and quick drying. The quality of the construtcion materials is excellent. I can't say how their overall durablitly rates yet because i've only used them on a few hikes. That will have to yet be seen. So far i'm very pleased with their performance and I don't really have any cons.

I bought StabilIcers Lite last winter because they're relatively cheap.  They were fine around town and my neighborhood, but the first time I tried to hike in snow with them, I lost one.  I found these at the local outdoors store on my way to an icy hike, and I LOVE them so far!  They are MUCH more secure on my shoes, so I don't worry about losing them.  The trail I had this weekend ranged from slushy mud to 2"-thick ice, and I felt safe on all of these conditions.  I don't rock-climb, so I didn't want full-on crampons, but these are definitely enough.  Plus, they pack small enough to keep in my work bag, making them useful for icy sidewalks as much as hiking.  These are pricier than other pocket-sized traction devices, but they seem worth it so far (what good are $20 Stabilicers if I need to buy a new pair after one hike?)

EDIT: At the end of the season, one of the links bent so that the chain is broken.  I'm not sure when it happened; maybe I was walking on too-hard ice or something.  Kahtoola has a 1-year warranty, so it's fixable, but it makes me wary about their durability.

I'm on my third pair, each pair before lasting over five years. So comfortable. I love that I can still get them, they are perfect for me. I hike and wear them daily for 1 week of every month, and they'd last more than five years except I like newness and am not crazy about showing up for lunch back in town with gashes from barbed wire and general scruffiness. Old ones work out well for gardening, pruning and tree cutting chores back at home.

I wear these very hard, including lots of mountain hiking.  The tread is good & the durability is decent.  They're very comfortable.  I'd highly recommend them.

I've logged over 1,000 hiking miles on these boots, and they're still holding up great.  I know they're supposed to be the affordable rung on the Vasque ladder, but the quality is fantastic.  I hike hard in the Santa Monicas and Sierras, and they've offered good fit, breathability, and excellent support to a previously broken ankle. Not a single blister in 1,000 miles.  Would definitely buy these again.

I have owned these hiking sandals for ten years. I have climbed mountain passes and taken 21 mile day hikes in them all over the world. I just used them - ten years after purchase - for a hike in Taiwan. They look new. In the days soon after purchase, I was chided for not wearing typical hiking boots. I always responded that I would make it to my destination just fine, and I always have. You get fewer blisters from these as opposed to hiking boots, but the sole still has great traction and the shoe weighs a lot less. Hiking revolution!

I think the best for the price for average use walking on snow covered driveways and sidewalks.  Have used hiking before too on slick snow covered trails.  Not the best for pure ice.  Also need to be careful when coming in from outside onto a tile floor; quite slippery.  For me they work fine; this is my 2nd pair.  1st pair lasted about 8 years so cannot complain about springs finally giving out.  Will see how this version does for longevity.

Most of my trail shoes have started to come apart within the first 10 runs (Yes, I can be a bit rough on them).  These shoes are still solid and have been on several trails throughout Utah.  They are great on all dirt and muddy trails.

My feet were a bit sore after running, hiking, and backpacking on extended trips where there were many rocky trail sections, but this was expected.  I have been up Mt. Timpanogos three times ([...] with the shoes.

Some of the terrain I have gone over has been pretty steep.  I have covered several icy snow fields.  I have been pretty satisfied with traction in this situations.  I have also noticed the tread does not hold in mud so you get the same level of traction on every step.

My feet are narrow with low arches.  I weigh about 175 lbs. I am not seeing any strange wear patterns and it looks like I will be using them for another six months minimum.

Great shoe, I will buy again.

The only reason I didn't give 5 starts is I had expected a bit more protection for rocky terrain.

I've been wearing these practically non-stop since buying them.  I got them for a trip where I was going to be doing a lot of walking in different weathers and they've really stood up to it.  Having said that, they are NOT waterproof (they weren't advertised as such either) so I sprayed them with a waterproof spray before going on my trip.  This did the trick, but I wouldn't wear them for hiking or that type of walk.  I've used them with and without socks and both work.  I did put in an insole, both for padding - which I found they did need as the soles are thinnish - and also as a means of helping with the smelly sock syndrome so the shoes didn't get permeated with any unfavourable odours.  I can just swap the insole out for a new one when necessary.

They're a bit shabby now, after 4 years, but the sole is still almost as good as new and has not separated at all from the upper.  I've been looking out for more bargains with these shoes (I got them for $30 - they're purple, I know...) but best shoes I've got in years.

These have been AMAZING hiking boots. I've had them for 5 years now and put quite a few miles on them on the AT in the winter. I actually started using them as my snow boots, and for kicking over bamboo shoots in my backyard. They're ridiculously cute too. Love the zipper feature on the side for easy on and off.

Only reason I'm not giving five stars is because I had to put insoles into them to make them comfortable. However, they do have plenty of space for insoles, so now I feel like I'm walking on a cloud :-)

I have worn these pants for over 18 months now mostly for walking in all areas to include the local mountians on trips ranging from a few hours to a few days. Always packing a spare pair they are ligtweight. comfortable and easy to live in yet remain durable. I fortunately have had no issues with these pants and the fit is spot on. I take them with me when I travel and find the zipper pockets great for cash and passports if in any dodgy areas. I wore two pair of these pants whist recently travelling through India and they were perfect for the hot conditions even in the overnight trians when I slept in them. I also wore them last winter when on my ML trianing in Snowdonia with a light weight base layer plus Gortex over trousers, even though he conditions were appallling I remained comfortable for days.  I would not hesitate to  purchase again or recommend them to my friends. Greg.

Had this shoe for a good while now. It has taken me through three trips to Big Bend Nat'l Park and trips to Zion, Bryce, Yellowstone, Glacier and other various day hikes. Great shoe to hike in when only using a day pack and a boot would be overkill. Grip is outstanding and shoe is extremely durable. Very cush. Great for bouldering, as well. I am now ordering my second pair!

These are probably one of the top hiking shoes I've bought. They are comfortable, easily broken in and provide good ventilation. I've used them on a recent trip which was a 10 mile hike with 44lbs pack and they were still comfortable. Only suggestion is if you're hiking on rugged terrain and your feet are not conditioned like mine you may want to get some insoles.
