I purchased a pair of these at an Adidas store which is about 80 miles away. I didn't have time to go so, I tried online. I wanted another pair, I wear my others daily at the gym and they launder nicely. They still look and feel new even after several months. I bought this pair for vacation and summer fun. Love them! I can wear them all day and walk several miles in them without any issues. I have high arches and these work well for me.
