I use these for crossfitting - so lifting, short distance running, gymnastic type workouts - as well as just for day-to-day shoes to walk around in... they've held up well for the 1st month I've had them. I don't like the look or feel of these nearly as much as the MO10GT Trails I had before - wish they would leave a good thing alone - but I still like this shoe much better than anything else out there right now.
