Outsole durability emerged as the weakest aspect among buyers, with review 3 noting visible wear after 3 months—a concern video reviewers may have flagged about long-term wear.

In their words

I recently had a plantar fasciitis flareup and needed to replace my old shoes. Tried a number of brands, but noticed pain within 5 minutes of putting on the shoes. I've had positive experiences with Mizuno in the past so I tried these out. The footbed in these shoes felt immediately different and more important there was no pain.

B · verified purchase · runningroom.com

Probably the most comfortable shoe I have worn. Walking on clouds is the feeling. Fits true to size. I can walk all day and not be tired on these. The only issue is that the outsole may not last as long as I want. After 3 months the front outsole looks a little worn.
