The durability issue flagged by buyers aligns with the critical review's complaint about weak upper material failing at seams.

In their words

I've been wearing these for over a month now ( alternating ). I'm a huge fan of Brooks and Asics. I have several different types of Brooks and these are a great addition. While I have flat feet and arthritic knees, these took a short break in period. Very comfortable and true to size. Made very well which is not a surprise for Brooks! Not sure what that other reviewer is talking about!

Chasesdad · verified purchase · stoneberry.com

Complete junk and not fit for purpose, especially at the premium price. The king of supportive running shoes for heavy athletes has become nothing more than a soft lounge shoe for trips to the supermarket. The upper is the main problem - soft weak material - falls apart at the seams when it gets wet. Mine lasted nowhere near the 300-500 miles expected.
