I wore this shoe at work (in a carpeted office) exclusively; however 3 or 4 days a week I would I go for a 45 minute walk on paved walk. The shoe hardly looked used as it was mostly worn indoors. It was comfortable, fit just right, and remained in very good shape - until the mesh around the large toe just tore one day. This is the second Asics where the mesh tore around the large toe for me. So this shoe, with no rough use, lasted just around 8 months.  Not worth the money and considering it happened twice on tow different shoe styles, that might just do it for me for Asics.
