Wow.
I've had mine about 2 years +-, and they're beginning to fall apart (although still perfectly usable at the moment, but the black upper is delaminating from the structural mesh near the creases). Used for a 100km walk, dozens of weekend hillwalking trips, and are my spring/summer/autumn approach shoes, occasional use as travel shoes - never ran in the things though. Considering how useful they are, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair even if I only get 2 years out of them again.
