I've been wearing mine pretty regularly (3-4 times a week) all day, and I am sold. I have a friend who buys a new pair of these whenever the last one wears out, and I can see why. The tread is not as aggressive as some may like (Northern Utah and snow have shown me the you can still slide around even with the tread these have), but for almost all situations except for ice and very wet snow the traction has been adequate. They are very lightweight, waterproof, and after about 2 months they still look brand new. I am a convert to these shoes, as well as the Speedcross set I have.
