Durability concerns raised by buyers (sole separation, falling apart) align with the video reviewers' potential quality control issues.
In their words
“Trying on the Assert 9 Wide 4E I realised that the product really exceeded expectation. Because of a foot injury I need a wide fitting shoe but this often comes with compromise. But no compromise here. It is light, the sole is comfortable and supportive, lacing has plenty of room for adjustment when there is size variation between feet, they are affordable and they look good. Great product thank y”

“I purchased three pair of under armor shoes, loved the look and fit of the shoes. The style is fantastic. I didn’t have the first pair for 3 months and the sole became unglued from the bottom of the shoe. Dicks said I was 2 days beyond being able to return them. I wish the quality was better!!!”
