Got this based on other runners' recommendations.<br />Took it out for a 10k trail run and thought I might need more time to adjust.<br />One week later as I was getting ready for a second run on these, the eyelet tore as I was tying my laces.<br />Poor quality.<br />I've had running shoes for over 2 years and they still work, and tying the laces was quick and easy.<br />I did not expect the eyelet to break so easily and so soon.<br />This might be my last Altra purchase.
