They say expected "life time" of these shoes is 100 hours !
At $250 purchase price, that $2.50 per hour - thats quite high in my opinion. I would expect $250 shoes to last more than 100 hours.

I purchased this shoes from ebay.com couple weeks ago and now I know that I just spend way too much money for shoes which should be cool but there are not. I feel much better with my Puma Disc for which I spent only $45 + $15 S&H. Do not make my mistake !!!
