I got first pair and it got ripped in 3-4 months. I called Asics and they send me replacement shoe and it got ripped in 4 months as well.<br />I use this shoe on elliptical for about 10-15 mins and then 30 mins walk weekdays. After using this shoe for about 4 months, it started ripping from front. I am not happy with purchase for a shoe that cost around 100$ and wont even last for 6 months.
