I bought these shoes for law enforcement bike patrol. I needed a stiff soled, aggressive tread and comfortable shoe for running hills, pedaling and standing while devouring doughnuts.It's been five days in the field and they're doing really well. Very happy with the stiff sole, there's little to no flex while pedaling (and we're talking 15-20 miles a day of biking). They're super comfortable with great arch support and they grip super well. What's been a surprise is how comfortable they are when running. They're on par with my Asics Gel Nimbus shoes (now I haven't done a ton of distance, maybe a mile or so, but they were the least of my worries).
I will update as time goes on, but they're a 4 star out of the gate.
Added: Changed my rating to 3 stars. After 6 months of use, they're destroyed. The sole of the left completely tore off, the right has a hole in the sole, the toes are kicked out of both and they are now garbage. Being said, up until their last day of use, they were very comfortable, light and agile. Also, for the amount of trail running I did in them (and it was a lot) only turned my ankle once, which I credit to good grip on the shoes.
My experience is at the high end of what these shoes would be put through, and they held up. 6 months of biking, trail running, rock climbing, street running, fence climbing and jumping from roof to roof, 5 days a week, 10 hours a day.
I opted for what I hope are a more durable pair of the Vasques to replace these, with a more aggressive tread and all rubber toe. All in all, a pretty good shoe.
