What owners single out
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!”

“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.”
